Independence and Association in Probability

What is the main focus of the introduction section?

• Analyzing the independence of two events

• Introducing the formula for calculating probabilities

• Explaining the concept of joint probabilities

• Discussing the association between music genre and region

How do you find the probability of a person living in the West Region?

• By dividing the number of people in the West by the total number of people

• By subtracting the probability of living in other regions

• By multiplying the probabilities of different regions

• By adding the probabilities of different music genres

What does it mean for two events to be independent?

• The events occur at the same time

• The events have the same probability

• One event does not affect the likelihood of the other

• One event affects the likelihood of the other

What is the key takeaway from the lesson on independence?

• Independence is always clear-cut

• Independence is irrelevant in probability
