Question

1 - and the probability that event A occurs given 1 In an experiment, the probability that event B occurs is 2 3 that event B occurs is - 5 What is the probability that events A and B both occur? Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

if we are given the probability of two events and we would like to determine the probability of these event happening then the probability is the product of both probabilities, that is:

`P(\text{AandB)}=P(A)* P(B)`
