If A and B are independent events with P(A)= .40 and P(B)= .50,then P(A and B)= .20.
Independent Events
Events whose occurrence or outcome is not influenced by the occurrence or outcome of another event.
P(A and B)
The probability that both events A and B occur.
P(A)
The probability of event A occurring, an elementary concept in probability and statistics.
- Understand the principle of independent events and their impact on the likelihood of outcomes.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
The probability of both independent events A and B occurring is found by multiplying their individual probabilities: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.40 * 0.50 = 0.20.
