How do you calculate the probability of independent events?

Back

For independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities. P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

What is the probability of landing on blue first and then yellow or green on a spinner?

Back

To find this, multiply the probability of landing on blue by the probability of landing on yellow or green.

How do you find the probability of two events happening in sequence?

Back

Multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event, assuming the first event does not affect the second.
