To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Probabilities Let the probability of event A be \( P(A) = x \) and the probability of event B be \( P(B) = y \). ### Step 2: Use Given Information From the problem, we know: 1. The probability that both A and B occur is given by \( P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) = xy = \frac{1}{8} \). ...
