Suppose q and r are independent events. find p (q and r) if p(q) = 4/7
and p(r) = 1/2

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If two events A and B are independent, then P(A and B)=P(A)P(B).

So since Q and R are independent, then P(Q and R)=P(Q)P(R).

Let's substitute and evaluate:

.

Both 2 and 14 are divisible by 2, so to reduce 4/14 we could divide top and bottom by 2:

4/14=(4/2)/(14/2)=2/7
