From the given information,
The probability of an author writing a good book is 12.
The probability of an author not writing a good book is 112=12.
The probability of an author publishing a good book is 23.
The probability of an author not publishing a good book is 123=13.
The probability of an author publishing a bad book is 14.
The probability of an author not publishing a good book is 114=34.
P(at least one book being published)=1P(none of the book published)
=1[P(not writing)×P(not publishing good book)+P(not writing)×P(not publishing bad book)]2
=1[(12×13)+(12×34)]2
=1(16+38)2
=0.7066
