According to the weather forecast, the probability of rain in A and B is 2% and 5% on a certain day, so the probability of rain in A and B is _ _ _ _ _.

From the meaning of the question, it is known that the probability that it rains in both places A and B is an independent event at the same time.

∵ The probability of rain in place A is .2, and that in place B is .5.

∴ The probability of rain in both places is

p = .2× .5 = .1.

so the answer is: .1.
