SOLUTION: Event A occurs with probabity 0.1. Event B occurs with probability 0.6. if A and B are independant, then : a- p(a and b)= 0.70 b- p(a or b)= 0.64 c- p(a and b)= 0.64 d- p(a o

Question 327124: Event A occurs with probabity 0.1. Event B occurs with probability 0.6. if A and B are independant, then :
a- p(a and b)= 0.70
b- p(a or b)= 0.64
c- p(a and b)= 0.64
d- p(a or b)= 0.70
THE ANSWER IS 0.06.....BUT THE CHOICES ARE DIFFERENT SO HOW DO I ANSWER IT PLEAAAASE.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The answer is 0.06 but the answer is not any of the choices.
I'm confused.

P%28A%29=0.1
P%28B%29=0.6
They are independent
P(A or B)=P%28A%29%2BP%28B%29=0.7
P(A and B)=P(A then B)=P(B then A)=P%28A%29%2AP%28B%29=0.1%280.6%29=0.06
