Answer:

P(A) = 0.25, P(B= 0.3

And if we want to find
$P(A \cap B)$ we can use this formula from the definition of independent events :

$P(A \cap B) =P(A) *P(B) = 0.25*0.3= 0.075$

And the best option would be:

$P(A \cap B) =0.075$

Explanation:

For this case we have the following events A and B and we also have the probabilities for each one given:

P(A) = 0.25, P(B= 0.3

And if we want to find
$P(A \cap B)$ we can use this formula from the definition of independent events :

$P(A \cap B) =P(A) *P(B) = 0.25*0.3= 0.075$

And the best option would be:

$P(A \cap B) =0.075$
