What is addition and multiplication theorems on probability with examples?
When considering the probability of two different events or outcomes, it is essential to clarify whether they are mutually exclusive or independent. If the events are mutually exclusive, then the probability that either one or the other will occur equals the sum of their individual probabilities. This is known as the law of addition. If, however, two or more events or outcomes are independent, then the probability that both the first and the second will occur equals the product of their individual probabilities. This is known as the law of multiplication.
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 :)
Event A has probability 0.4 event B has probability 0.5 If A and B are disjoint then the probability that both events occur is?
If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.
What is the 'and' rule in probability?
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.
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur at the same time?
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
When looking at 2 possible events how do you calculate the probability?
are they dependent or independent? define success and failure for the 2 events. probability of success (EX: drawing a face card) = number of possible successes / total possible events. Multiply the two separate probabilities to get the probability that both occur.

What are events that cannot both occur in the same trail of an expierement?
Two events that cannot occur at the same time are called mutually exclusive. If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur.
What is the probability of independent events?
If you mean the probability that independent events will occur, it is the product of the individual probabilities that they occur. Ex: Probability of picking a red marble from a jar with 4 red and 6 green marbles and picking a black card from a deck of 52. P(red) = 4/10 = 2/5 P(black card0 = 26/52 = 1/2 P(both) = 2/5 x 1/2 = 1/5
When two events are disjoint they are also independent?
When two events are disjoint (or mutually exclusive), it means that they cannot occur at the same time; if one event occurs, the other cannot. Consequently, disjoint events cannot be independent, because the occurrence of one event affects the probability of the other event occurring. In fact, for disjoint events, the probability of both events happening simultaneously is zero, which contradicts the definition of independence where the occurrence of one event does not influence the other. Therefore, disjoint events are not independent.
Event A has probability 0.4 event B has probability 0.5 If A and B are disjoint then the probability that both events occur is?
If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.
If probability of occurrence of event A is p and that of occurrence of event B is q then what is probability that both the events do not occur?
The answer depends on whether A and B can occur together, that is, if they are mutually exclusive.
What is the 'and' rule in probability?
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.
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur at the same time?
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
How do you do probability of independent events?
The answer depends on what you mean by "do". Does it mean calculate individually, calculate the probability of either one or the other (or both), calculate the probability of both, calculate some function of both (for example the sum of two dice being rolled)?
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that one or the other occurs?
Add the probabilities of the two events. If they're not mutually exclusive, then you need to subtract the probability that they both occur together.
