Answer

$\dfrac{1}{15}$

Work Step by Step

You have the probability of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ for event $A$ and you have the probability of $\dfrac{2}{5}$ for event $B$. The events are independent. The formula for the probability of independent events is: $P(A \text{ and } B)=P(A) \cdot P(B)$ Thus, using the formula above gives: $P(A \text{ and } B)=\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\ P(A \text{ and } B)=\dfrac{1}{15}$
