Question

Suppose Q and R are independent events. Find P(Q and R) if P(Q) = 0.27 and P(R) = 0.03.

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of  $P(Q \cap R)$ is, 0.0081

Step-by-step explanation:

For an independent events A and B is given by:

$P(A \cap B) =P(A) \cdot P(B)$

As per the statement:

Suppose Q and R are independent events.

P(Q) = 0.27 and P(R) = 0.03.

We have to find $P(Q \cap R)$

By definition we have;

$P(Q \cap R) =P(Q) \cdot P(R)$

Substitute the given values we have;

$P(Q \cap R) =0.27 \cdot 0.03$

⇒$P(Q \cap R)=0.0081$

therefore, the value of  $P(Q \cap R)$ is, 0.0081

Answer 2

Your answer would be 0.0081!
