TIPS on Probability
For Independent Events
Probability of A and B P(A and B) = P(A) ? P(B).
In other words, the probability of A and B both occurring is the product of the probability of A and the probability of B.
Probability of A or B
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
In other words, the probability of A or B occurring is the sum of the probability of A and the probability of B.
For Dependent Events
If A and B are not independent, then the probability of A and B is
P(A and B) = P(A) ? P(B|A)
where P(B|A) is the conditional probability of B given A.
