If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
a. 1/3 * 1/3 = ?
b. increase, 1/2 * 1/2 = ?
You randomly guess the answers to two questions on a multiple-choice test. Each question has three choices: A, B, and C.
