Question

The probability that a restuarant patron is wearing blue shoes is 0.36. the probabilty that a restaurant patron is 27 years old is 0.017. what is the probability that a patron has blue shoes and is 27?

Answer 1

the events are independent, therefore one doesn't affect the outcome of the other, thus recall that AND means "times" namely multiplication.

P(A and B) => P(A) * P(B), in this case 0.36 * 0.017.
