What does 'without replacement' mean in probability?

Back

'Without replacement' means that once an item is selected, it is not put back into the pool for future selections, affecting the probabilities of subsequent selections.

What is the multiplication rule in probability?

Back

The multiplication rule states that the probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of their individual probabilities.

What is an independent event in probability?

Back

An independent event is one whose outcome does not affect the outcome of another event. For example, rolling a die and flipping a coin are independent events.
