I know this must seem like a really basic question, but it's a long time since I left school, and I didn't do well in math(s) even then.
How do I calculate the chance of say a 90% chance of something happening, and then the same thing again. So 90% and then 90% chance again, how do I calculate the odds of both 90% chances failing or succeeding? Thanks in advance. 95.148.212.141 ( talk) 14:29, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
