Exercises: Understand Independence Through the Product Rule
Work through each section in order. For independence tests, compute $P(A)$, $P(B)$, and $P(A \text{ and } B)$, then compare $P(A \text{ and } B)$ to the product $P(A) \cdot P(B)$. For explanation problems, write in complete sentences.

Fluency Practice
Test each pair of events using the product rule.
