Question

Event A has a probability of occurring of four fifths. Event B has a probability of occurring of one third. If events A and B are independent of one another, what is the probability of both events occurring?

With independent events, multiply the two probabilities and that will give you then answer.

 

So (4/5) * (1/3) = 4/15
