What is the formula for calculating the probability of independent events?

Back

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) for independent events A and B.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of outcomes in a probability experiment?

Back

Multiply the number of outcomes for each event together.
