A new sports car model has defective brakes 15% of the time and a defective steering mechanism

Question:

A new sports car model has defective brakes 15% of the time and a defective steering mechanism 5% of the time. Let’s assume (and hope) that these problems occur independently. If one or the other of these problems is present, the car is called a “lemon.” If both of these problems are present, the car is a “hazard.” Your instructor purchased one of these cars yesterday. What is the probability it is:
a. A lemon?
b. A hazard?
