42% of 65% is equal to .42 * .65 which is equal to .273 which is equal to 27.3%

27.3% of the households have wireless access inside the home.

assume the population is 1000.
this means that 650 have internet access.
42% of 650 have wireless access which makes 273 having wireless access.
273 / 1000 = .273 = 27.3%.

the probability that a household picked at random has wireless access to the internet is 27.3%.
