How do you calculate the probability of two independent events occurring together?

Back

To find the probability of two independent events A and B occurring together, multiply their individual probabilities: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

How do you calculate the probability of two dependent events occurring together?

Back

To find the probability of two dependent events A and B occurring together, multiply the probability of the first event by the conditional probability of the second event given the first: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A).

What is the probability of rolling a die and landing on a specific number?

Back

The probability of rolling a die and landing on a specific number (e.g., 4) is 1/6, since there are 6 possible outcomes.

What is the formula for calculating the probability of selecting two items without replacement?

Back

The probability of selecting two items without replacement is calculated as: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B after A).

What is the total number of outcomes when rolling a die twice?

Back

The total number of outcomes when rolling a die twice is 6 * 6 = 36.

What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a die?

Back

The probability of rolling an odd number (1, 3, or 5) on a die is 3/6 or 1/2.
