Since the probability of the events occurring is independent, we can multiply the probabilities of each event occurring to find the probability of both events occurring.
Probability of buying a hat = 0.25
Probability of buying a pair of gloves = 0.72
Probability of both events occurring = Probability of buying a hat * Probability of buying a pair of gloves
= 0.25 * 0.72
= 0.18
Therefore, the probability of both events occurring is 0.18.
