Probability Question

Hey, I was never very good at probability in high school and was wondering if anyone knew how to do these three questions. Also don't if this is the right place to post so someone can move this to an appropriate section.

We will assume that if Sam submits via an internet connection that works, then the assignment is guaranteed to be submitted successfully. Else, this question lacks information.


___________________________________________________________

Part 1) is not doable unless we make the assumption that the behaviour of the Wi-Fi and 4G are independent. So we will make this assumption.
(Reality check: This assumption may be viable, because Sam's Wi-Fi and 4G providers can be different.)


At this point, I don't want to do part b) because I can't verify if that 0.38 is extraneous information. Please provide the answers as a reference.
