    Step-by-step explanation:

    a)

    probability of a computer being ancient =.99

    probability of a computer being cutting-edge =.01

    probability of two selected computer being old

    =.99 x. 99

    =.98 or 98%

    b)

    probability of 5 selected computers being old

    =.99 x. 99 x. 99 x. 99 x. 99

    =.95 or 95%

    c)

    probability that at least one of the five selected computers is cutting-edge

    = 1 - probability of 5 selected computers being old

    = 1 -.95

    =.05
