00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.520
Here is the problem: Independent events have P(A) equals 0.2 and P(B) equals 0.7. Find P(A and B) and P(A or B).

2
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:12.396
Two independent events A and B.

3
00:00:13.197 --> 00:00:16.657
Both: multiply, because the events are independent.

4
00:00:17.107 --> 00:00:20.544
At least one: add and subtract the overlap.

5
00:00:20.994 --> 00:00:22.271
Exactly one of them.

6
00:00:22.721 --> 00:00:23.243
Neither.

7
00:00:24.043 --> 00:00:40.622
So the answer is P(A and B) equals 7 over 50 approximately 0.14; P(A or B) equals 19 over 25 approximately 0.76; P(neither) equals 6 over 25 approximately 0.24.

8
00:00:41.072 --> 00:00:47.132
For independent events the probability that both happen is the product of the individual probabilities.

9
00:00:47.932 --> 00:00:51.415
P(A or B) plus P(neither) equals 1 equals 1.
