No, the combined probability is the product of the probability of their separate occurrances.

It sounds like Bayesian statistics.
You multiply together their individual probabilities.
If the probability of two events occurring together is 0, the events are called mutually exclusive. This means that the occurrence of one event precludes the occurrence of the other, so they cannot happen at the same time. For example, flipping a coin can result in either heads or tails, but not both simultaneously.
The four basic rules of probability are: Non-negativity: The probability of any event is always between 0 and 1, inclusive. Normalization: The total probability of all possible outcomes in a sample space sums to 1. Additive Rule: For mutually exclusive events, the probability of either event occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities. Multiplicative Rule: For independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.

The probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of both events. yw lazy odyssey users like me :)
Independent events with a probability of zero
Two independent events occurring.
It sounds like Bayesian statistics.
The product rule states that the probability of two independent events occurring together is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. In genetics, the product rule is used to calculate the probability of inheriting multiple independent traits or alleles simultaneously from different parents.
It is true.
If the probability of A is p1 and probability of B is p2 where A and B are independent events or outcomes, then the probability of both A and B occurring is p1 x p2. See related link for examples.
You multiply together their individual probabilities.
What is the difference between dependant and independent events in terms of probability
If the probability of an event is 0.02, then the probability of two such events occurring is 0.022 or 0.0004.
Independent Events
