Multiplication Theorem for Independent Events (A and B)

Play to Learn

Goal(s): Observe how the probability of two independent events occurring at the same time is the product of their probabilities.  Over numerous trials, the observed relative frequency approaches the expected probability (Law of Large Numbers).

How: For two independent variables (college year and college major), pick their combined outcome. Then select the number of trials to observe (+1, +10, +100, and +1000). Finally, record the relative frequency with which both outcomes (e.g., first-year student and business major) occur together.
