When determining the probability that two events happen at the same time, you convert the percents to decimals and then multiply the percents together. Therefore, 30 percent, or .3, times 50 percent, or .5
.3 x .5 = .15
Converting back into a percentage, the answer is 15% probability that you will get both. 10% is therefore incorrect.
