The probability that a randomly selected student from college is female is 0.55 and thata student works more than 10 hours per week is 0.62. If these two events areindependent, find the probability that a randomly selected student is amale and works for more than 10 hours per week
-----
p(male) = 0.45
P(works 10) = 0.62
------
P(male AND works 10) = 0.45*0.62 = 0.279
------------
