1
Q

they don’t overlap so cant happen at the same time
2
Q
what does independent mean
A
Independent events do not affect each other
For two independent events, the probability of one event happening is unaffected by the outcome of the other event
3
Q
what is the equation for independent probability
A
p(AnB) = p(A) x p(B)
4
Q
what is the equation for mutually exclusive
A
p(A or B) = p(A) + p(B)
5
Q
this equation
A
P(B|A) = P(B), P(A|B) = P(A),
