Question

A final year student appears for placement interview in two companies, S and T. Based on her interview performance, she estimates the probability of receiving job offers from companies S and T to be 0.8 and 0.6, respectively. Let \( p \) be the probability that she receives job offers from both the companies. Select the most appropriate option.

• A. \( 0 \leq p \leq 0.2 \)
• B. \( 0.4 \leq p \leq 0.6 \)
• C. \( 0.2 \leq p \leq 0.4 \)
• D. \( 0.6 \leq p \leq 1.0 \)

Hint:

When calculating the probability of two independent events occurring together, multiply their individual probabilities.
