Question

Steve has a big project due next week. However, Steve has a tendency to procrastinate and usually finishes his projects on time only about 63% of the time. Even if he does finish them on time, Steve is very forgetful, and leaves his projects at his desk at home about 21% of the time. What is the probability that Steve will finish this project on time and hands it in (not leave it at home)? [Note: assume independence between Steve finishing his project on time and not leaving it at home]. 

Express the probability as a decimal number, not a fraction. Only round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

The answer is NOT supposed to be a percentage. It should be a regular probability (between 0 and 1).
