According to the Almanac of Questionable Statistics, Vol 4 (2012), the probability of a mass squirrel uprising in any given year is 0.47 and the probability that cats and dogs will sign a peace treaty allowing them to live together peacefully in any given year is 0.98. If we presume that these two events are independent, what is the probability of both happening next year?

In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 6% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is an 8% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day.
