The event "P and Q" is a compound event in the probability, and the true statement about the probability is P(P and Q) = 1/9

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The probabilities are given as:

P(P) = 1/6

P(Q) = 2/3

The probability of the event P and Q is calculated using:

P(P and Q) = P(P) * P(Q)

This gives

P(P and Q) = 1/6 * 2/3

Evaluate the product

P(P and Q) = 1/9

Hence, the true statement about the probability is P(P and Q) = 1/9
