Question

The probability of event A is 0.56, and the probability of event B is 0.34. If A and B are independent events, then P(A and B) =

Answer 1

`P(A and B)=0.1904`

Explanation:

It is given that the probability of an event A is :
`P(A)=0.56` and the probability of an event B is :
`P(B)=0.34`.

Also, it is given that A and B are the independent events, then

`P(A and B)=P(A){*}P(B)`

Thus,
`P(A and B)=(0.56){*}(0.34)`

`P(A and B)=0.1904`.

Therefore, If A and B are the independent events, then the value of
`P(A and B)` is
`0.1904`.

Answer 2

An equation that might be used to work out the values for A and B might be P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)P(A and B) = 0.34 x 0.56 = 0.1904
