If two events are 'independent', the probability of both occurring P(A ∩ B) is calculated using the Multiplication Rule as:
Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: C) P(A) × P(B)
Explanation
For independent events (where the outcome of one does not affect the other), the joint probability is find by multiplying the individual probabilities of each event.
