Question 1

What is the Rules of Probability - the Multiplicative Rule?

Answer 1

If the events of one trait are independent of the event of another trait, the probability that they occur together is the product of their individual probabilities of occurrence.

Question 2

What is the Rules of probability - the additive rule?

Answer 2

If the events of A and B are independent and do not overlap, the probability that at least one of them occurs is the sum of their individual probabilities

Question 3

Binomial Probability

Answer 3

The probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes
