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

​P(A)equalsone fourth
​, ​P(B)equalstwo fifths

1 answer

First, we need to calculate the probability of both events happening simultaneously. Since A and B are independent events, we can use the formula P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

P(A and B) = (1/4) * (2/5)
P(A and B) = 2/20
P(A and B) = 1/10

Therefore, the probability of both events A and B happening simultaneously is 1/10.
