The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of the intersection of two independent events A and B, denoted as \( P(A \cap B) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - We know that \( P(A) = 0.4 \) and \( P(B) = 0.5 \). - Events A and B are independent. 2. **Use the Formula for Independent Events**: - For independent events, the probability of the intersection of A and B is given by: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) \] 3. **Substitute the Values**: - Now, substitute the values of \( P(A) \) and \( P(B) \) into the formula: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.4 \times 0.5 \] 4. **Perform the Multiplication**: - Calculate the product: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.4 \times 0.5 = 0.20 \] 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the probability of the intersection of A and B is: \[ P(A \cap B) = 0.20 \]
