Compound probability of independent eventsYou'll become familiar with the concept of independent events, or that one event in no way affects what happens in the second event. Keep in mind, too, that the sum of the probabilities of all the possible events should equal 1.

Independent & dependent probabilityThis time around we're not going to tell you whether we're working on a dependent or independent probability event problem. You tell us!

Independent events example: test takingHave you ever taken a test and discovered you have no choice but to guess on a couple of problems? In this example problem, we are considering the probability of two independent events occurring.

Die rolling probability with independent eventsWe hope you're not a gambler, but if you had to bet on whether you can roll even numbers three times in a row, you might want to figure this probability first.
