You can put this solution on YOUR website! Answer: 0
Reason:
The number is a multiple of 4.
So we have 4,8,12,16,...
None of those are prime numbers. A prime is a number that has factors of 1 and itself, and no other factors.
Example: 7 is prime because the only factors are 1 and 7.
Therefore, there is no such number that is both prime and a multiple of 4.
P(B and C) = 0 to indicate it is impossible for both events B and C to occur at the same time.
