We know

when A and B are two independent experiments then,

Probability of (A) and Probability of (B) = Probability of (A) * Probability of (B)

Here Probability of (A) =\(\frac{8}{15}\)

Probability of (B) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Therefore the probability that both experiments will have successful outcomes = \(\frac{8}{15} * \frac{2}{3}\) = \(\frac{16}{45}\)
