You multiply together their individual probabilities.
The answer depends on what you mean by "do". Does it mean calculate individually, calculate the probability of either one or the other (or both), calculate the probability of both, calculate some function of both (for example the sum of two dice being rolled)?
The probability of getting a heads on the first flip is 1/2. Similarly, the probability on each subsequent flip is 1/2, since they are independent events. The probability of several independent events happening together is the product of their individual probabilities.
are they dependent or independent? define success and failure for the 2 events. probability of success (EX: drawing a face card) = number of possible successes / total possible events. Multiply the two separate probabilities to get the probability that both occur.
Independent events.
Yes. Independent events can exist in reality. Dependent events means that one event has had an effect on the other. For instance, if we look at the probability of someone going to the shops, and the probability of them buying an apple, the latter is clearly dependent on the former. Independent events are simply events that don't have this connection. The probability of one does not influence or predict the probability of the other. For instance, if I studied the probability of you going to see a film on a particular day, and the probability of someone in China getting a hole in one in golf, these are very clearly independent events.

What is the difference between dependant and independent events in terms of probability
The probability of getting a heads on the first flip is 1/2. Similarly, the probability on each subsequent flip is 1/2, since they are independent events. The probability of several independent events happening together is the product of their individual probabilities.
Independent events with a probability of zero
Independent Events
You can calculate the probability of the outcome of events.
are they dependent or independent? define success and failure for the 2 events. probability of success (EX: drawing a face card) = number of possible successes / total possible events. Multiply the two separate probabilities to get the probability that both occur.
Independent events.
The answer depends on whether or not the events are independent.
Two events are independent if the outcome of one has no effect on the probability of the outcomes for the other.
It may or may not be - it depends on the events.
Yes. Independent events can exist in reality. Dependent events means that one event has had an effect on the other. For instance, if we look at the probability of someone going to the shops, and the probability of them buying an apple, the latter is clearly dependent on the former.
