The required probability is P(A and B) = 0.104
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given,
A , B are independent events
P(A) = 0.26
P(B) = 0.40
We need to find P(A and B)
Step 2 :
P(A and B) indicates that the event A should happen and also the event B should happen.
Since it is given that A , B are not dependent events it means that the happening of event A does not impact the happening of event B and vice versa.
Probability of 2 independent events is computed by taking the product of the 2 individual events
So here P (A and B) can be obtained as P(A) × P(B)
= 0.26 × 0.40 = 0.104
Step 3 :
Answer :
The required probability is 0.104
