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

Back

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A) for dependent events A and B.

What is the sample space in probability?

Back

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

If a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4?

Back

P(rolling > 4) = 2/6 = 1/3.

What is the formula for conditional probability?

Back

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B), where P(A|B) is the probability of A given B.
