Final answer:
To find the combined probability of two independent events, multiply their individual probabilities. For events A and B, the joint probability is P(A) × P(B) = 0.06, so the correct answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to calculate the probability of two independent events A and B occurring together, given that P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.3. To find the probability of both A and B occurring, you can multiply their individual probabilities because they are independent events. Hence, P(A AND B) = P(A) × P(B) = 0.2 × 0.3 = 0.06. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 0.06 for the probability of both events occurring together.
