How do you calculate the probability of two dependent events occurring together?

• Multiply the probabilities of both events

• Subtract the probability of one event from the other

• Add the probabilities of both events

• Divide the intersection probability by the probability of the first event

What is the formula for the probability of event A given event B in dependent events?

• P(A or B) / P(B)

• P(B) / P(A)

• P(A) / P(B)
