Two seperate and unrelated surgeries each have a 94% cure rate. What is the percentage that both surgeries are failures?
Thank you.

Sorry, but we still don't "do" students' work for them, nor do we give out the answer. For further information, kindly please re-read the "Read Before Posting" announcement.
Are you asking for the percentage of patients, receiving both of the surgeries, for which both of the surgeries are unsuccessful? If so, what is the failure rate for each surgery, individually? Assuming (in an utterly unrealistic manner) that the surgeries will in no way influence each other (as though bodies, anesthesia, etc, worked that way in real life), what then must be the percentage for "both fail" (or, which is the same thing, "neither succeeds")?
Use the formulas and methods they gave you in class. If you get stuck, please reply showing your thought and efforts so far. Thank you!
