      Question

       Probability that A will be alive in 20 years is 0.7

      and probability that B will be alive in 20 years is 0.6, then what is the probability that they both will be alive in 20 years?
      A 0.7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 0.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 0.42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 0.9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Probability that A will be alive after 20 years = 0.7 Probability that B will be alive after 20 years = 0.6   Assuming both events are independent, the probability that both A and B will be alive after 20 years is:   0.7×0.6=0.42 So, the required probability is 0.42 or 42%.
