Question

Let a and b be independent events with p(a) = 0.54 and p(b) = 0.64. What is the probability of both events occurring?

1) 0.35
2) 0.3456
3) 0.345
4) 0.34567

Answer 1

The probability of both events occurring is 0.3456.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of both events occurring, we can use the multiplication rule for independent events. According to this rule, the probability of two independent events occurring is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So, the probability of both events occurring is P(A AND B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.54 * 0.64 = 0.3456.
