Hypothesis Tests · Superchallenge problem

Two independent studies each test a null hypothesis that is in fact true, and each test statistic has a continuous distribution, so each p-value is uniformly distributed on (0,1)(0, 1). A meta-analyst declares a finding whenever the PRODUCT of the two p-values is below 0.050.05. What is the probability of a (false) finding? Round to four decimal places.
