a and b are independent events find p(a and b)
p(a) =1/6 p(b)=2/7
p(a and b)=
round 3 decimal places
To find the probability of the intersection of two independent events, you multiply the probabilities of each event occurring.
Given:
p(a) = 1/6
p(b) = 2/7
p(a and b) = p(a) * p(b)
p(a and b) = (1/6) * (2/7)
p(a and b) = 2/42
p(a and b) = 1/21
Rounded to 3 decimal places:
p(a and b) ≈ 0.048
