What is compound probability?

Back

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 or the addition rule for mutually exclusive events.

How do you calculate the probability of independent events?

Back

For independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities. P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

What is the probability of rolling a 3 on the first roll and a 5 on the second roll with a 6-sided die?

Back

The probability is 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36.
