Learn the general multiplication rule for probabilities with interactive exercises and examples on Khan Academy.

We can use the general multiplication rule to find the probability that two events both occur when the events are independent.

Find the joint probabilities of independent and dependent events using the general multiplication rule.

We can express the probability that two events both occur symbolically using the general multiplication rule, and we can interpret probability statements that are expressed symbolically.

We can use the general multiplication rule to find the probability that two events both occur when the events are not independent.

In a lottery there are a 100 tickets. Out of these 10 contain the prize of a playstation where as 90 are empty. Satyam buys a ticket and checks if he has won the prize. If he has not, he buys …

This formula says that we can multiply the probabilities of two events, but we need to take the first event into account when considering the probability of the second event.

Chris Paul is shooting free throws. Making or missing free throws doesn't change the probability that he will make his next one, and he makes his free throws 88 % of the time. What is the …

One probability rule that's very useful in genetics is the product rule, which states that the probability of two (or more) independent events occurring together can be calculated by …
