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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
