 PROBABILITY OF DEPENDENT AND
INDEPENDENT EVENTS
For joint probability, the multiplication rule is used.

➢ If events A and B are independent, then joint probability:

𝑷 𝑨 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩 = 𝑷(𝑨) ∙ 𝑷(𝑩)

 PROBABILITY OF DEPENDENT AND
INDEPENDENT EVENTS
For joint probability, the multiplication rule is used.
➢ If events A and B are dependent, then joint probability:

𝑷 𝑨 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩 = 𝑷(𝑨) ∙ 𝑷 𝑩 𝑨

This is read as “the probability of event A and B is the

product of the probability of event A and probability of event B
given event A, where events A and B are dependent events”.
 Compute the joint
probability P(A and B), given the
following:

2.) 𝑷 𝑨 = 𝟎. 𝟏𝟖, 𝑷 𝑩 = 𝟎. 𝟕
