Compound Probability

Compound probability is the probability of two or more events happening at the same time. It can be calculated using the multiplication rule for independent events.

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).

The probability of landing on one specific section is $$\frac{1}{6}$$ .

The probability of spinning red is $$\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$$ .

The total number of outcomes is 12 (2 outcomes for the coin × 6 outcomes for the die).

The probability is $$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{12}$$ .

The probability is $$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}$$ .

It makes it less likely because there are fewer total marbles left.

The formula is P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

An independent event is an event whose outcome does not affect the outcome of another event.
