document.write( "Since events A and B are independent, it means, BY THE DEFINITION, that\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "the probability of the event  (A and B) is the product  P(A)  and  P(B)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, all you need to do is to multiply the two given numbers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.82*0.87.   Use your calculator.\r\n" );
