Ten little monkeys were jumping on a bed. There is a 35% chance that one will fall off and bump his head. In the bedroom next door, five kangaroos were jumping on a bed. Being more adept at jumping, there is only a 20% that a kangaroo will fall off the bed.

What are the chances that a monkey and a kangaroo will fall off the bed?

P(monkey ∩ kangaroo) = P(monkey)P(kangaroo) = (0.35)(0.20) = 0.07
