DEFINITIONS

Two events are independent\textbf{independent}, if the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring.

Multiplication rule\textbf{Multiplication rule} for independent events:

P(AB)=P(A and B)=P(A)×P(B)P(A\cap B)=P(A\text{ and }B)=P(A)\times P(B)
