    What is the probability both are math phobic ? 0.49%

    What is the probability at least one is math phobic ? 9.31%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to both be math phobic, both individuals has to be inside of the probability of 7%, that means 0.07*0.07 = 0.0049 = 0.49%

    In order to at least one be math phobic there's some cases which satisfies the sentence:

    Individual A is math phobic and B as well = 0.07*0.07 = 0.0049 = 0.49%

    Individual A is math phobic, but B is not = 0.07*0.63 = 0.0441 = 4.41%

    Individual A is not, but B is math phobic = 0.63*0.07 = 0.0441 = 4.41%

    Suming the 3 possibles cases, the probability at least one is math phobic

    = 9.31%
