the probability of ordering tacos is 0.4 and the probability of ordering a burrito is 0.6. the two probabilities are independent from each other. what is the probability of ordering tacos and a burrito?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall probability - multiplication rule for independent events
For two independent events (A) and (B), the probability of (A) and (B) occurring is (P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)). Let event (A) be ordering tacos with (P(A) = 0.4), and event (B) be ordering a burrito with (P(B)=0.6).
Step2: Calculate the probability
We substitute the values into the formula: (P(A\cap B)=0.4\times0.6). (P(A\cap B) = 0.24)
Answer:
(0.24)
