Q4. An oil prospecting firm hits oil or gas on 10% of its drillings. If the firm drills two wells, the four possible simple events and three of their associated probabilities are as given in the accompanying table. Find the probability that the company will hit oil or gas (a) on the first drilling and miss on the second. (b) on at least one of the two drillings.
