about 13% of the population of a large country is hopelessly romantic if two people are randomly selected, what is the probability that both are hopelessly romantic? what is the probability that at least one is hopelessly romantic?
----------------------
P(both romantic) = 0.13^2 = 0.0169
-----
P(at least one romantic) = 1-P(neither romantic) = 1 - (0.87)^2 = 0.2431
