How do you find the probability of two events A and B when A and B are independent? dependent?

A.For independent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event after the first event occurs, and then multiply. For dependent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event, and then multiply.

B.For independent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event, and then multiply. For dependent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event after the first event occurs, and then multiply.

C.For independent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event after the first event occurs, and then add. For dependent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event, and then add.

D.For independent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event, and then add. For dependent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event after the first event occurs, and then add.

Answer:

I think it is A, but i am not sure, sorry

Explanation:

Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event. If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.

A. For independent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event after the first event occurs, and then multiply. For dependent events, find the probability of the first event, find the probability of the second event, and then multiply.
