Question

A and B are independent events. Find​ P(A and​ B).

P(A)=1/5 P(B)=2/7


P(A and​ B)=????? (Round to 3 decimal places as needed)

Answer 1

Explanation:

If A and B are independent events.

then P(A and B)=P(A)×P(B)=1/5 ×2/7=2/35≈0.057

Answer 2

0.057

Explanation:

For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) P(B).

P(A and B) = (1/5) (2/7)

P(A and B) = 2/35

P(A and B) ≈ 0.057
