PLEASE HELP. URGENT. A small software company has two customer service representatives. After a week of observation, the supervisor of the customer service department determines that there is a 61% probability that a customer service representative will be on the phone with a customer at any given time. What is the probability of both representatives being on the phone at the same time? Round to the nearest percent if necessary.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

both representatives? so the probability for each of them is 61%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a 61 percent probability that ONE of the representatives will be on the phone at all times. It's asking what the probability is that BOTH of the representatives will be on the phone at the same time. And it did before c: and I'd change it if I could but I can't haha xD

OpenStudy (adamaero):

I would guess (.61+.61)/2 which equals the mean, but I haven't seen this kind of wording so don't take that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha, okay.

Hahaha, I'm gay, I know how to put a woman's assets to use. Which is weird. But, haha. Yeah, I feel I'll get tons more help when people think I'm a hot girl xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two representative being on phone same time are two independent events but not exhaustive,the probability of being both in line is (61/100)*(61/100) ,i.e .6*.6 so approximately 36% chance of both being on phone same time
