Use the multiplication rule to determine the probability of an intersection of events Statistics & Probabilities

James throws two unbiased dice.

  • Let A be the event : "the result of the first die is odd".
  • Let B be the event : "the result of the second die is 4 or less".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

In a standard 52 card deck, we draw two cards one by one and replace them each time.

  • Let A be the event : "the first card is a queen".
  • Let B be the event : "the second card is a heart".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

In a family with three children:

  • Let A be the event : "the first two children are girls".
  • Let B be the event : "the third child is a boy".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

A jar contains 7 blue marbles, 4 red marbles, and 9 white marbles. We pick two marble one by one and replace them every time.

  • Let A be the event : "the first marble is red".
  • Let B be the event : "the second marble is not white."

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

We flip a coin four times:

  • Let A be the event : "we get exactly two tails on the first tree flips".
  • Let B be the event : "we get a head on the fourth flip".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

We roll a fair die four times:

  • Let A be the event : "the sum of the first two numbers is 9."
  • Let B be the event :"the sum of the third and fourth number is 3".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).

In a standard 52 card deck, we draw two cards one by one and replace them every time.

  • Let A be the event : "the first card is an ace".
  • Let B be the event : "the second card is a face".

Calculate P\left(A\cap B\right).
