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 an event is 0.02, then the probability of two such events occurring is 0.022 or 0.0004.
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.

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
