The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of the intersection of two independent events A and B, given their individual probabilities. **Step 1: Understand the given information** - We are given: - \( P(A) = \frac{3}{5} \) - \( P(B) = \frac{2}{3} \) - We know that events A and B are independent. **Step 2: Use the formula for independent events** - For two independent events A and B, the probability of their intersection is given by: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) \] **Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula** - Now, we substitute the given probabilities into the formula: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \] **Step 4: Perform the multiplication** - Multiply the fractions: \[ P(A \cap B) = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 3} = \frac{6}{15} \] **Step 5: Simplify the fraction** - Simplifying \( \frac{6}{15} \): \[ P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{5} \] **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the probability of the intersection of events A and B is: \[ P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{5} \]
