Suppose that events E and F are​ independent, ​P(E)equals=0.40.4​, and ​P(F)equals=0.90.9. What is the Upper P left parenthesis Upper E and Upper F right parenthesisP(E and F)​?

Answer:

The probability of E and F is 0.367236 ≅ 0.367

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the meaning independent probability  

- Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not

  affected by the result of the first event

- If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events  

 is the product of the probabilities of the both events

- P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

* Lets solve the question  

- There are two events E and F

- E and F are independent

- P(E) = 0.404

- P(F) = 0.909

∵ Events E and F are independent

- To find P(E and F) find the product of P(E) and P(F)

∴ P (E and F) = P(E) · P(F)

∵ P(E) = 0.404

∵ P(F) = 0.909

∴ P(E and F) = (0.404) · (0.909) = 0.367236 ≅ 0.367

* The probability of E and F is 0.367236 ≅ 0.367
