4th hour probability of compound events

PROBABILITY OF TWO INDEPENDENT EVENTS
you multiply both independent events to find the probability of the event


PROBABILITY OF TWO DEPENDENT EVENTS
you find the probability of A and you don't replace it to find B
then you multiply the dependent events to find the probability of the event

Sup Jonsie,

The first one I understand but I'm not sure I get the other. Maybe if you had some examples.

I did understand the first one but not the second one. You should use example and i would put number 2 like this: after you find A take B times A to get your answer. Example You have a total of 20 tiles the letters are 4 As, 3 Us, 5 Es, 7 Is, and 1 O what is the probability that you draw a E after A with out replacing. A=4/20 or 1/5 times B=5/19 the answer is 1/19. If you do replace the tile is 1/5 times 1/4 the answer 1/20.
