Point 1 of 5

33.4.1 Independent Events

Core idea

Today's coin flip remembers nothing of yesterday's, so when events don't affect each other you just multiply, P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B)

Module goal. Tell apart "they don't affect each other" from "knowing one, now look at the other," and master the multiplication, conditional, and total probability rules
