(ii) Using a search engine, find an example of probabilityinvolving “A and B” that is used in your chosen profession or reallife. Explain the example. Are the events A and B in your exampleindependent? Which Multiplication Rule formula for P(A and B)applies? Be sure to cite the source of the information clearly.
(iii) Find an exampleinvolving conditional probability that is used in your chosenprofession or real life. Explain the example. Be sure to cite thesource of the information clearly.
Be sure to supportyour statements with logic and argument, citing any sourcesreferenced. Post your initial response early, and check back oftento continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers’ andinstructor’s posts, as well.
