The right anser is A: 0.1395 because you multiply the two possibilities.

Answer:

0.1395

Explanation:

We are given that Q and R are independent events.

P(Q)=0.45

P(R)=0.31

We have to find the value of P(Q and R).

We know that when two events are independent then


P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)


P(Q\cap R)=0.45* 0.31=0.1395

Answer:P( Q and R)=0.1395
