Question

Given two independent events A and B such that P (A) = 0.3 and P (B) = 0.6. Find P (A ∩ B).

Answer 1

\[\text{ Given } : \]
\[\text{ A and B are independent events } .\]
\[P\left( A \right) = 0 . 3\]
\[P\left( B \right) = 0 . 6\]
\[P\left( A \cap B \right) = P\left( A \right) P\left( B \right)\]
\[ = 0 . 3 \times 0 . 6\]
\[ = 0 . 18\]
