When two probabilities are multiplied the probability represents a simple event?

No, it is not.


What are dependent and independent probability in math terms?

Two events are said to be independent if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. Their probabilities are independent probabilities. If the events are not independent then they are dependent.


A compound event consists of two more outcomes or simple events?

true A compound event consists of two more outcomes or simple events


Which is a compound event?

A compound event, in probability theory is an event which is made up of two (or more) simpler events. Thus, tossing two coins in a compound event made up of tossing one coin and tossing another coin. Getting soaked in rain consists of the simple events that it rains (where you are) and you are outdoors without an umbrella (at that time).


How do you express probabilities?

Probabilities are expressed a few different ways, often depending on the means of calculating the probability.Theoretical probabilities are generally calculated as the number of successes divided by the total number of possibilities. For example, rolling a number greater than 4 on a die has two successes (5 or 6) and six possibilities (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Because each of these outcomes is equally likely to occur, the probability is 2/6 = 1/3. Probabilities calculated in this way are typically expressed as fractions, although they can also be expressed as decimals or percents (more commonly referred to as the chance of an event occurring).Probabilities based on the normal curve, models, random variables and the like are generally expressed as decimals, although percentages are also acceptable.Note that for all of these forms, probabilities are always between 0 and 1 inclusive (0% and 100%). A probability of 0 (0%) has absolutely no chance of occurring while a probability of 1 (100%) means an event is certain to occur. Probabilities in between represent a certain degree of likelihood of the event occurring.
