Question 256044
Jim is considering an MS degree in Info. Systems. He has applied to two universities. The acceptance rate for applicants with similar qualifications is 20% for University 1 and 45% for University 2. What is the probability that Jim will not be accepted at either university?

Assuming the events are independent:
P(neither) = P(not #1)*P(not #2) = 0.20*0.55 = 0.11
