The explanation is given below.
Explanation:
For any two events, A and B we have the product rule or the multiplication theorem of probability as follows.
Pr{AB]=P(A).P(B) if A and B are independent.
Pr[AB]=P(A)+P(B)P(AB) otherwise.
Hence if A and B are independent, then we have the answer as 0.3×0.8=0.24
Otherwise, we cannot obtain P[AB] as the information is incomplete.
