Two events are said to be independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event. Some common ways to teach this are to perform simulations with coin flips.
Students need to understand that if A and B are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.
Students can predict and then observe probabilities of a fixed number of heads or tails.
This lets then see the ideas in action.

Events that have no effect on each others probability?
Independent Events
Which is a pair of independent events?
Two events are independent if the outcome of one has no effect on the probability of the outcomes for the other.
What is events for which the outcome of one event does not affect the probability of the other?
Independent events.
What is the probability of two independent events occurring together?
The probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of both events. yw lazy odyssey users like me :)
If two events are independent the probability that both occur is?
That probability is the product of the probabilities of the two individual events; for example, if event A has a probability of 50% and event B has a probability of 10%, the probability that both events will happen is 50% x 10% = 5%.
