40% x 70% will give you the answer in percent.
.4 x .7 = .28 He has a 28/100 chance or 7/25 chance (reduced).

Answer:

Probability of Ben for being selected as president of sport club and elected editor of the school magazine will be = 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given in the question is Ben has a chance of being selected as president of the school = 40% and a chance of being elected as editor of the school magazine = 70%

Therefore probability of two different events are

P(A) = 0.40

P(B) = 0.70

Now probability of happening both the events will be = P(A) × P(B) = 0.40×0.70 = 0.28

Therefore probability of happening of both the events will be = 0.28
