Step 1
We want to determine if events A and B are independent or dependent. Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event. Mathematically, events A and B are independent if P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B). Let's Show more…

Probability
Conditional Probability and the Multiplication Rule
Determine whether the scenario involves independent or dependent events. Then find the probability. 1) You flip a coin and then roll a fair six-sided die. The coin lands heads-up and the die shows an even number.

Suppose we roll a fair 6-sided die twice. Let A be the event that the sum of the results is even, and let B be the event that the first die result is "2". Are A and B independent? Explain why or why not?
