that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring?
Round to at least 3 decimal places
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The probability is to randomly get the decoder ring in the first box.
After that, the probability is to randomly get the decoder ring in the second box.
The probability to get the decoder ring in the first AND the second box is the product
P = = 0.045587.
Round it as you need.
