way 1:  probability of picking M from M,B   and P by Kofi is p_1 =(1/3).  probability of picking M from P,M   and C by Ama is p_2 =(1/3).  probability of picking M both by Kofi  and by Ama is then  p=p_1 ×p_2 =(1/3)×(1/3)=(1/9)    way 2:  to pick a book by Kofi there are 3  possibilities and to pick a book by  Ama there are 3 possibilities, totally  there are 3×3=9 possibilities.  to pick the M book both by Kofi and  by Ama there is 1 possibility.  the probability is then  ⇒p=(1/9)
