Independent VS. Dependent Events
• Two events are said to be independent if the result of the
second event is not affected by the result of the first event.
• If A and B are independent events, the probability of both
events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the
individual events
• If the result of one event IS affected by
the result of another event, the events
are said to be dependent.
• If A and B are dependent events, the
probability of both events occurring is
the product of the probability of the
first event and the probability of the
second event once the first event has
occurred.

Mutually Exclusive Events
• Two events that have NO outcomes in
common are called mutually exclusive.
These are events that cannot occur at
the same time.
