You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a particular suburb, 30% of the households have installed electronic security systems.
a. If a household is chosen at random from this suburb, what is the probability that this household has not installed an electronic security system?
---
P(not installed) = 1 - P(installed)
= 1 - 0.3
= 0.7
=====================
b. If two households are chosen at random from this suburb, what is the probability that neither has installed an electronic security system?
---
P(not and not) = 0.7^2 = 0.49
===================================
