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?

What does printing of shipping labels have any rellevance with the given problem?

Exercise minimal norm of decency!
DO NOT post such irrelevant and idiotic comments in a Math/Logic website.
