Probability
Independent Events: If A and B are independent events, then the probability of A happening
and the probability of B happening is:
= () ()
Dependent Events: If A and B are dependent events, then the probability of A happening and
the probability of B happening, given A, is:
= () ( | )
Conditional Probability: The probability of an event occurring given that another event has
already occurred e.g. what is the probability that B will occur after A
