This formula says that we can multiply the probabilities of two events, but we need to take the first event into account when considering the probability of the second event.

We can use the general multiplication rule to find the probability that two events both occur when the events are independent.

We can express the probability that two events both occur symbolically using the general multiplication rule, and we can interpret probability statements that are expressed symbolically.

Find the joint probabilities of independent and dependent events using the general multiplication rule.

We can use the general multiplication rule to find the probability that two events both occur when the events are not independent.

This formula says that we can multiply the probabilities of two events, but we need to take the first event into account when considering the probability of the second event.

Here, we'll take a deep dive into the many ways we can calculate the likelihood of different outcomes. From using simulations to the addition and multiplication rules, we'll build a solid …
