Q

Event that is always a sure event

22
Q

The probability an Event B will occur, given (on the condition) that another event A has occurred

A

Conditional Probability

23
Q

How do you say or write this P (B|A)

A

Probability of B given A

24
Q

Two dice rolled find the probability the second die is a 4 given the first was a 4

A

Independent Events

25
To find the probability that two events, A and B will occur in sequence, multiply the probability A occurs by the conditional probability B occurs, Given A has occurred.
Multiplication Rule
25
The probability of getting a defective car for the second car depends on whether the first was defective.
Dependent Event
26
If they cannot Occur in the same trial
Mutually Exclusive
27
Can occur in the same trial
