For independent events that conditional term simplifies, so the chance of both is found by multiplying:
AThe two probabilities
BThe two complements
CThe two sample sizes
DThe two frequencies
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The two probabilities
1. Independence means B tells us nothing about A.
2. So P(A given B) is just P(A).
3. The joint probability becomes the product of the two probabilities.
