This one belongs firmly in the lounge :eagerness:.
Any math geeks out there that can help me? I am drawing a complete blank on how to put this into an actual equation. Normally I would just cheat and use WolframAlpha, but I can't put this into a coherent equation for the life of me!
Here it goes: If there is a 6% chance of something happening to two people, what % of the time does it happen to both people?

I think it is .36%, but I could be wrong.

I keep accidentally hitting the "like" button. But, my best guess is to agree with Mccoc03. (0.06 x 0.06 = 0.0036) Stats and probability were two courses I hated, but that would be my best guess.

:) I teach this.

Yep, multiply 6% by 6%.
