The probability of a red candy being selected from a bowl is 0.2, and the probability of a pink frosted animal cookie being taken out of a different bowl is 0.4. What is the probability of getting both a red candy and a pink cookie?

0.2 * 0.4 = ?

.08

To find the probability of both events occurring, you need to multiply the probabilities of each event.

Let's assume the events are independent, meaning that the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.

Probability of selecting a red candy = 0.2
Probability of taking out a pink frosted animal cookie = 0.4

To find the probability of both events happening, you can multiply these probabilities:

Probability of getting both a red candy and a pink cookie = 0.2 * 0.4 = 0.08

Therefore, the probability of getting both a red candy and a pink frosted animal cookie is 0.08 or 8%.
