Reasoning
Probability of Independent Events
Find probability of two independent events occurring together.
P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)
Formula Explanation
Independent events do not affect each other’s probability.
Variables Explained
P(A), P(B) = individual probabilities.
Solved Example
P(A)=1/2, P(B)=1/3. P(both)?
1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6.
