For independent events that conditional term simplifies, so the chance of both is found by multiplying:

AThe two probabilities
BThe two complements
CThe two sample sizes
DThe two frequencies
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The two probabilities
1. Independence means B tells us nothing about A. 2. So P(A given B) is just P(A). 3. The joint probability becomes the product of the two probabilities. _Source: OpenStax Introductory Statistics 2e, Chapter 3, Probability Topics._
