consider a situation in which p(x) =
4/5 and p(y) = 1/4. if p(x and y) is = 1/5, which best describes the events?

The answer is 49/16 or 3 1/16

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
