Two completely independent events, C and D, have probabilities of P(C) = 0.70 and P(D) = 0.40. What is the mathematical probability of both occurring together, P(C and D)?
Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A) 0.28
Explanation
If events are strictly independent (one does not affect the other), the probability of both occurring is found by multiplying them: P(C) * P(D) = 0.70 * 0.40 = 0.28.
