Detailed explanation-1: -We can find compound probability by multiplying the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compound Probability Formulas = P (A) + P(B). For mutually inclusive events, P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B)-P(A and B). Using the organized list method, you would list all the different possible outcomes that could occur.
Detailed explanation-3: -To determine the probability of two independent events, and, both occurring, we multiply the probabilities of each of the two events together: P ( A ) × P ( B ) = P ( A a n d B ) . In some cases, the outcome of one event affects the outcome of a second event.
Detailed explanation-4: -In mathematical terms: P(C) = P(A) + P(B). An inclusive compound event is one in which there is overlap between the multiple events. The formula for determining the probability of an inclusive compound event is: P(C) = P(A) + P(B)-P(A and B).
