On any given day, there is a 7/8 probability that task 1 will be completed on time, and a 3/5 probability that task 2 will be completed on time.

答案D

解析 Task 1 has a 7/8 probability of being completed on time, and task 2 has a 3/5 probability of being completed on time, which can also be expressed as a 2/5 probability of not being completed on time, which is what the problem asked for. Multiply the probabilities and we get which reduces to 7/20.
