question 1
events a and b are indpendent events. find the indicated probability.
p(a)=0.6
p(b)=0.6
p(a and b)=

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula for independent events

For independent events $A$ and $B$, $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$.

Step2: Substitute given values

We have $P(A) = 0.6$ and $P(B)=0.6$. So $P(A\cap B)=0.6\times0.6$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$0.6\times0.6 = 0.36$.

Answer:

$0.36$
