To calculate: The probability, to four decimal places, that Kevin and his neighbour will use the same settings provided that there are 6 independent switches which can be set off or on. The receiver (wired to the door) must be set with thesame pattern as the transmitter.One of Kevin’s neighbours also has thissame brandof opener, and both of them set the switches randomly.
