Question 1194158
<font color=black size=3>
If events A and B are independent, then we can say:
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
P(A and B) = 0.5*0.6
P(A and B) = 0.3


If A and B were dependent, then we cannot use that formula. 
Instead we would have to say something like
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B given A)
or
P(A and B) = P(B)*P(A given B)
Many math textbooks will replace the word "given" with a vertical bar.


Since the instructions do not make it clear if A & B are independent or not, there is unfortunately not enough information to answer this problem.
