Answer

$0.21 $

Work Step by Step

Let us consider that $A$ denotes a randomly chosen polled person who agrees with the first proposition and $B$ denotes a randomly chosen polled person who agrees with the second proposition . Thus, we can find the probability of a person who agrees with the both statements and assumes $A$ and $B$ as independent events. $P( A \cap B)=P(A)P(B)=(0.49)(0.43) =0.21 $
