What does it mean if two events are independent in probability?
- The occurrence of one affects the occurrence of the other
- The occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other
- They have the same probability of occurrence
- They occur at the same time
In probability, two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other. This means that the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.
