Let A be the event that the student passes the first examination and B be the event that the students passes the second examination.

P(A \cup B) is probability of passing at least one of the examination.

Therefore, 

P(A \cup B) = 0.95 , P(A)=0.8, P(B)=0.7

We know,

P(A \cup B) = P(A)+ P(B) - P(A  \cap B) 

\implies P(A \cap B) = 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.95 = 1.5 -0.95 = 0.55

Hence,the probability that the student will pass both the examinations is 0.55
