A Printing Machine Problem (Posted on 2006-07-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A printing machine, capable of only printing the 10 digits, prints the right digit 12% of the time. Whenever the machine prints erroneously, all wrong possibilities are equally likely.

If a random key is pressed twice and a same digit comes out both times, what is the probability that it was the correct one?
