12-7 Probability of Compound Events (AND problems) Goal: Find the probability of a compound event. Eligible Content: A
Independent Events – the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. Probability of picking a red marble and a green marble from a bag. Dependent Events – the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another event. Probability of picking a student who is a girl and wears glasses. Vocabulary
Multiply the probabilities together. P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) Leave answers as fractions!!! Independent Events
Multiply the probabilities together, but be careful when finding second probability. P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) Leave answers as fractions!!! Dependent Events
