a.
P(Neither business is robbed)
= P(General store not robbed) × P(Book shop not robbed)
= (1 - 0.10) × (1 - 0.02)
= 0.882

b.
P(Either one shop or the other is robbed)
= 1 - P(Neither business is robbed) - P(Both business are robbed)
= 1 - 0.882 - 0.10 × 0.02
= 0.116

OR:
P(Either one shop or the other is robbed)
= P(General store robbed) × P(Book shop not robbed) + P(Book shop robbed) × P(General store not robbed)
= 0.10 × (1 - 0.02) + 0.02 × (1 - 0.10)
= 0.116

a)
P(no robbery on general shop) = 1-0.10 = 0.90
P( no robbery on book shop ) =1-0.02 = 0.98
P( Neither business will be robbed) = (0.90)(0.98) = 0.882

b)
P(store robbed, bookshop not robbed) + P( store not robbed, book shop robbed)
= (0.10)(0.98) + (0.90)(0.02)
= 0. 116
