What is the formula for calculating the probability of independent events?

Back

The probability of independent events A and B occurring together is P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

What is the probability of landing on blue first and then green on a spinner with 4 equal sections?

Back

The probability is P(blue) * P(green) = (1/4) * (1/4) = 1/16.

What is the probability of landing on 'X' on the first spin and 'F' on the second spin if there are 6 equal sections?

Back

The probability is P(X) * P(F) = (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36.

Front

What are dependent events?

Back

Dependent events are events where the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another.
