Probability of Combined Events

Calculating probabilities for independent and dependent events using tree diagrams and Venn diagrams.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the condition of 'without replacement' fundamentally change the probability space of an experiment?
  2. 2Why do we multiply probabilities for independent events but add them for mutually exclusive events?
  3. 3How can we use Venn diagrams to simplify the visualization of overlapping probability sets?
