Question

of Probability forEvents is used when the outcome of one event affects the likeihood of another event occurring. This rule states that the probability of A and B occurring is, Multiple Choice Dependent, the probebility of B times the probability of A given that A has occurred Dependent, the probability of A times the probability of B given that A has occurred ndependent, the probability of B times the probability of A given that A has occurred Independent; the probability of A times the probability of B given that A has occurred

Explanation / Answer

Dependent, the probability of B times the probability of A given that A has occured.

Dependent Events

If the occurrence of one event does affect the probability of the other occurring, then the events are dependent.

Conditional Probability

The probability of event B occurring that event A has already occurred is read "the probability of B given A" and is written: P(B|A)

General Multiplication Rule

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)
