How do you calculate the probability of a compound event?

Back

To calculate the probability of a compound event, you can use the formula: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) for independent events.

What are independent events?

Back

Independent events are events where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. For example, flipping a coin and rolling a die.

Front

What are dependent events?

Back

Dependent events are events where the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another. For example, drawing two cards from a deck without replacement.

What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a die?

Back

The probability of rolling a 4 on a fair six-sided die is 1/6.

What is the probability of flipping heads on a coin?

Back

The probability of flipping heads on a fair coin is 1/2.

Front

If you roll a die and flip a coin, what is the probability of rolling a 3 and getting heads?

Back

The probability of rolling a 3 (1/6) and getting heads (1/2) is: P(3 and heads) = (1/6) * (1/2) = 1/12.

What is the sample space of rolling a die?

Back

The sample space of rolling a die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
