Two non-simultaneous events have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). if the events are independent of each other, what is the probability that they will both occur?

It is given in the quesiton that two non-simultaneous events have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). But, If the events are independent of each other,then the probability that they will both occur together will be given by multiplicative rule of probabilties i.e P(one event) * P (second event) = 50% *50% =25% i.e. there is 25% chance that they both will occur together
