Solving the Probability of Dependent and Independent Events

If two events, A and B, are independent, then probability of both events occurring is the product of the probability of A and probability of B.

​​Independent Event

If two events A and B, are dependent, then probability of both events occurring is the product of the probability of A and the probability of B after A occurs.

​​Dependent Event
