If two events are independent, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probability. Events A and B are independent with P(A)=0.3 and P(B)=0.25 . What is the probability of events A and B happening at the same time? Write your answer in decimal form
To find the probability of both events A and B happening at the same time, we simply multiply their individual probabilities:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
P(A and B) = 0.3 * 0.25
P(A and B) = 0.075
Therefore, the probability of events A and B happening at the same time is 0.075 in decimal form.
