If you have applied for two jobs a and b and the probability that you get an offer for the job a is 0.25 and the probability of being offered job b is 0.20, then the probability that you will be offered both jobs is 0.05.

Probability is a term used in mathematics that is concerned with the numerical illustration of the possibility of an event to take place. Its value is between 0 and 1 where 0 illustrates the impossibility of the event to take place while 1 illustrates the certainty of an event to take place.

As the probability of both the jobs are not dependent on each other, the probability that both jobs will be offered can be calculated by the formula;

P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)

Here, P(A∩B) represents the probability of both the events to take place together

As P(A) is equal to 0.25

P(B) is equal to 0.20

P(A∩B) = (0.25)(0.20)

P(A∩B) = 0.05

Therefore, 0.05 is the probability that both jobs will be offered.
