Multiplication Theorem on Probability

In accordance with the multiplication rule of probability, the probability of happening of both the events A and B is equal to the product of the probability of B occurring and the conditional probability that event A happens given that event B occurs.

Let's assume, If A and B are dependent events, then the probability of both events occurring at the same time is given by:

\(P(A\cap B) = P(B).P(A|B)\)

Let's assume, If A and B are two independent events in an experiment, then the probability of both events occurring at the same time is given by:

\(P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B)\)
