EXPLANATION:
To calculate the number of independent events that occur, the product of the probabilities of the individual events occurring must be calculated.
Therefore if A and B are independent events then:
P (A and B) = P (A) • P (B)
The exercise is as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{7}=\frac{2}{14};\text{ Now }we\text{ must take }square\text{ r}oot; \\ \frac{2}{14}=\frac{1}{7} \\ \text{ANSWER: }\frac{1}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]NOTE:
To obtain the product of two fractions, the numerators must be multiplied with each other and the denominators must also be multiplied with each other.
