If two events A and B are independent, then the probability of both events occurring simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities, i.e., P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B). Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.30 x 0.40 = 0.12. Hence, the correct answer is B.

If the Events a and B Are Independent with P(A)=
