Since events A and B are independent, it means, BY THE DEFINITION, that


the probability of the event  (A and B) is the product  P(A)  and  P(B)

    P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B).


Hence, all you need to do is to multiply the two given numbers.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.82*0.87.   Use your calculator.
