Student A has a probability of 0.9 of solving a problem while student B has a probability of 0.6 of solving the problem. What is the probability that both of them will solve the problem?

answer

0.54

explanation

since student A and student B are independent of each other, we multiply their individual probabilities to get the probability of both solving the problem

A * B

= 0.9 * 0.6

= 0.54

there is a 0.54 probability that both will solve the problem
