Independent Events

Independent Events

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other.

If $A$ and $B$ are independent, then:

$$P(A \text{ and } B) = P(A) \times P(B)$$

infoNote

Example: The probability of flipping a coin and getting heads, and rolling a die and getting a $4$:

$$P(\text{Heads and 4}) = P(\text{Heads}) \times P(4)$$$$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{12}$$
