If A speaks the truth 80% of the times, B speaks the truth 60% of the times. What is the probability that they tell the truth at the same time

(a) 0.8
(b) 0.48
(c) 0.6
(d) 0.14

• probability that A speaks truth is 80/100=0.8 probability that B speaks truth is 60/100=0.6 since both A and B are independent of each other so PROBABILITY OF A INTERSECTION B = P(A) *P(B) =0.8 * 0.6 = 0.48

• 80/100 * 60/100
  = .48

• p(A)=80% i.e. 4/5
  p(B)=60% i.e. 3/5
  both the events are independent
  p(A n B) = p(A) *p(B) = 4/5*3/5 = 12/25
  ie 48% or 0.48
