The probability of two mutually exclusive events to happen simultaniously can be described as below:


P(A\text{ and }B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)

We can replace the terms above with the probabilities to determine the answer for this problem.


P(A\text{ and }B)=0.6\cdot0.16=0.096

The probability of both events happening simultaneously is 0.096.
