The probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be 0.72. The C and I are independent events. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Approximately 80% of households in the United States have computers. Of those 80%, 90% have Internet access.

Then the probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be

P(C and I) = 0.80 × 0.90

P(C and I) = 0.72

Then the C and I are independent events.

Then the correct option is B.
