Q:

The probability that Anuj will be in class is 70%. The probability that Ben is late for class is 6%. What is the probability that Anuj is away and Ben is late?

Accepted Solution

A:
Assuming independence of the two events, the probability that both events will happen is the product of the two individual probabilities.
P(Anuj away ∩ Ben is late) = 70%*6% = 0.042
