A and B are independent events. P(A) = 0.26 P(B) = 0.40 What is P(A and B)?

The required probability is  P(A and B) = 0.104

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

A , B are independent events

P(A) = 0.26

P(B) = 0.40

We need to find P(A and B)

Step 2 :

P(A and B) indicates that the event A should happen and also the event B should happen.

Since it is given that A , B are not dependent events it means that the happening of event A does not impact the happening of event B and vice versa.

Probability of 2 independent events is computed by taking the product of the 2 individual events

So here P (A and B)  can be obtained as P(A) ×  P(B)

                                 = 0.26 × 0.40 = 0.104

Step 3 :
