Answer:

P(A and B)= 0.195

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given:

P(A)= 3/10

P(B)= 13/20

A and B are Independent.

To Find:

P(A and B)= ?

Solution:

We know that the event A and event B are Independent.

Hence

The probability of Event A and B occurring is=P(A and B)

P(A and B)=P(A).P(B)

Substituting the values we have,

P(A and B)=P(A).P(B)

[tex]P(A \text { and } B)=\left(\frac{3}{10}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{13}{20}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \text { and } B)=(0.3) \cdot(0.65)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \text { and } B)=0.195[/tex]
