2.3.5 Mutually exclusive and independent events

The event that both AAA and BBB occur is their [     ].

A

3×(0.6)2×0.4=0.4323\times(0.6)^2\times0.4=0.4323×(0.6)2×0.4=0.432

B

Events AAA and BBB are independent when P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)\boxed{P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)}P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)​.

C

0.6×0.6×0.4=0.1440.6\times0.6\times0.4=0.1440.6×0.6×0.4=0.144

D

The event that both AAA and BBB occur is their intersection, A∩BA\cap BA∩B.
