A canoe has two oars, left and right. Each oar either works or breaks. The failure or non-failure of each oar is independent of the failure or non-failure of the other. You can still row the canoe with one oar. The probability that the left oar works is 3/5. The probability that the right oar works is also 3/5. What is the probability J that you can still row the canoe?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 9/25	B) 10/25	C) 6/10	D) 2/3	E) 21/25
Simply look at the question from the other side. What is the probability that you can’t row the canoe? This would be 2/5 x 2/5 = 4/25.   Using the idea that the probability J of something happening is 1 – the probability that it doesn’t happen, you can use the following equation to reach the right answer: 1 – 4/25 = 21/25.Answer choice 21/25.
