Mathematics · Probability Rules
Which of the following statements correctly describes the application and calculation of the Multiplication Law of Probability for independent events?
- 1The Multiplication Law applies specifically to exhaustive events where the union of all possible outcomes covers the entire sample space, ensuring the total probability is exactly one.
- 2According to the Multiplication Law, the probability of an event is determined by the limit of the ratio between successes and total trials as the number of experiments approaches infinity.
- 3For independent events, the probability of multiple outcomes occurring simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities, such as three independent fair coins landing heads with probability 0.125.✓
- 4The Multiplication Law is used to calculate the probability of either event A or event B occurring by summing their individual probabilities and subtracting their joint probability.
Correct answer
For independent events, the probability of multiple outcomes occurring simultaneously is the product of their individual probabilities, such as three independent fair coins landing heads with probability 0.125.
