P(A)=0.31P(A)=0.31 , P(B)=0.51P(B)=0.51
Step 1
When AA and BB are independent events, the probability of AA and BB occurring is P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=P(A)⋅(P(B))P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=P(A)⋅(P(B)), which is called the multiplication rule for independent events AA and BB.
P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=P(A)⋅(P(B))P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=P(A)⋅(P(B))
Step 2
Fill in the known values.
P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=0.31⋅0.51P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=0.31⋅0.51
Step 3
Multiply 0.310.31 by 0.510.51.
P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=0.1581P(A∩B)=P(B∩A)=0.1581
