    The question is incomplete. The complete question is shown below

    1. What is the probability that Earl will have to do both chores?

    Ans. (0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64)

    2. What is the probability that Earl will have to take out the garbage but will not need to wash the dishes

    Ans. (0.8 * 0.2 = 0.16)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. The probability that Earl will have to do the chores is 0.8

    Therefore the probability that Earl will have to do both chores is 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.64

    2. The probability that Earl will have to take out the garbage but not need to wash the dishes

    0.8 * 0.2 = 0.16
