I need a step by step for this question because I am not understanding the second half.

A coin is flipped 160 times. It landed on heads 82 times and tails 78 times. A different coin is flipped 250 times. It landed on heads 115 times and tails 135 times.

What is the empirical probability of flipping a heads on the first coin AND flipping a heads on the second coin?

a. first coin heads: 82/160
b. second coin heads: 115/250
a AND b: a x b = 82/160 x 115/250
