Question

A and B are independent events. P(A)=0.40 and P(B)=0.30. what is P(A and B)?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events

The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. If A and B are independent events then the probability of both ocurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

With P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.30 then

P(A and B) = 0.40 x 0.30 = 0.12

Answer 2

Answer:

For Apex, the answer was 0.40.  I got it wrong when I used 0.12.
