Answer:
The probability that Terry buys a sandwich and gets the bus is 0.36
Step-by-step explanation:
When two events are called independent, it means that the happening of one event doesn't affect the happening of other event.
Let A be the event that Terry buys a sandwich
Let B be the event that Terry gets the bus
Then
[tex]P(A) = 0.4\\P(B) = 0.9[/tex]
When two events are independent, their probabilities are multiplied i.e.
[tex]P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) * P(B)\\= 0.4 * 0.9\\= 0.36[/tex]
Hence,
The probability that Terry buys a sandwich and gets the bus is 0.36
