Chris;

Part of your difficulty might be that the question is not as clear as it
could be.

The answer is correct assuming that the lottery only gives out housing for
one year at a time. The question that it is asking is: What is the
probability that the student is offered housing for AT LEAST one of the two
years that he/she applies for.

Here is a hint for one way to do the problem:

There are four cases. Either the student is not offered housing, is offered
housing for only the first year, is offered housing for only the second
year, or is offered housing for both years. Look at the cases separately.

I hope this helps without giving the whole solution away.

Angus.
