0.714

Steps

Step 1 :Given P(A)=0.74, P(B)=0.85 and P(AB)=0.84, find the value of P(A and B), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Step 2 :We need to find the probability of P(A and B), which can be calculated using the conditional probability formula: P(AB)=P(A and B)P(B). We have the values of P(AB), P(A), and P(B), so we can solve for P(A and B).

Step 3 :P(AB)=0.84

Step 4 :P(A)=0.74

Step 5 :P(B)=0.85

Step 6 :Using the conditional probability formula, we get:

Step 7 :0.84=P(A and B)0.85

Step 8 :Solving for P(A and B), we get:

Step 9 :P(A and B)=0.84×0.85

Step 10 :P(A and B)=0.714

Step 11 :0.714
