Apply the general Multiplication Rule
HSS.CP.B.8
**HSS.CP.B.8**: (+) Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.

HSS.CP.B.8: (+) Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
What you'll learn
- State the general Multiplication Rule, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A) = P(B) * P(A | B)
- Apply the rule to compute joint probabilities for dependent events, such as draws without replacement
- Use tree diagrams to organize sequential events, multiplying conditional probabilities along branches
- Recognize the independence special case, where P(B | A) = P(B) reduces the rule to P(A) * P(B)
- Interpret a computed joint probability in terms of the model and its context
