![### Probability and Independence
#### Question 13 [2 points]
Suppose \( Q \) and \( R \) are independent events, and \( P(Q) = 0.39 \), \( P(R) = 0.85 \). Find \( P(Q \text{ and } R) \).
**Options:**
- a) 1.24
- b) 0.3315
- c) 0.46
- d) 0.1794
#### Explanation:
To find the probability of both independent events \( Q \) and \( R \) occurring, we use the multiplication rule for independent events:
\[ P(Q \text{ and } R) = P(Q) \times P(R) \]
Given:
\[ P(Q) = 0.39 \]
\[ P(R) = 0.85 \]
Calculation:
\[ P(Q \text{ and } R) = 0.39 \times 0.85 = 0.3315 \]
#### Correct Answer:
- b) 0.3315](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3b8f79a9-b6a4-48ca-ab39-5a4f4172185c%2F14e25012-4799-4162-b958-991b7175000d%2F9wrgt9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
