1. **Problem statement:**
Find the probability that
i) only one of Mutola or Murambi is selected,
ii) none of them is selected.
2. **Given:**
- Probability of selecting Mutola $P(M) = \frac{7}{8}$
- Probability of selecting Murambi $P(N) = \frac{9}{10}$
3. **Important rules:**
- Probability of not selecting Mutola $P(M^c) = 1 - P(M) = 1 - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{1}{8}$
- Probability of not selecting Murambi $P(N^c) = 1 - P(N) = 1 - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{1}{10}$
4. **Calculate probability that only one is selected:**
This means either Mutola is selected and Murambi is not, or Murambi is selected and Mutola is not.
$$P(\text{only one}) = P(M) \times P(N^c) + P(M^c) \times P(N)$$
Substitute values:
$$= \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{9}{10}$$
$$= \frac{7}{80} + \frac{9}{80} = \frac{16}{80}$$
Simplify fraction:
$$= \frac{\cancel{16}^{2} \times 8}{\cancel{80}^{10} \times 8} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$$
5. **Calculate probability that none is selected:**
$$P(\text{none}) = P(M^c) \times P(N^c) = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{80}$$
**Final answers:**
- Probability only one is selected: $\frac{1}{5}$
- Probability none is selected: $\frac{1}{80}$
