Question
### 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
