Independence

In Two Events

$ P(A \bigcap B) = P(A) \times P(B) $

For example, given a coin, are the two outcomes independent?

$ P( \lbrace C_1=H \rbrace \bigcap \lbrace C_2 =H \rbrace ) $

[1]

In Multiple Events

$ \bigcap_i A_i = \prod_i P(A_i) $

For i \in S

Conditional Probability

A & B are conditionally independent given C if the following formula holds true.

$ P(A \bigcap B|C) = P(A|C) \times P(B|C) $
