Answer:

Probability [Student wears contacts and has a car] = 0.1596

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability [Student in school wears contacts] = 0.38

Probability [Student in the same school has a car] = 0.42

Find:

Probability [Student wears contacts and has a car]

Computation:

P[A and B] = P(A) × P(B)

So,

Probability [Student wears contacts and has a car] = Probability [Student in school wears contacts] x Probability [Student in the same school has a car]

Probability [Student wears contacts and has a car] = 0.38 x 0.42

Probability [Student wears contacts and has a car] = 0.1596
