Compound Probability Formula
The following formula is used to calculate a compound probability.
PA :PB = PA*PB
- Where PA:PB is the probability of both events A and B occurring
- PA is the probability of event A
- PB is the probability of event B
To calculate compound probability, simply multiply the probability of each even together.
Compound Probability Definition
A compound probability is the chance of two events both happening. In most cases, we say this as events A and B. To get the probability of these events both happening, you need to first get the probabilities of these happening on their own. Once you have the chances of the individual events happening, you simply multiply the two chances to get the probability of both happening. It’s important to note that this must be their probability in terms of ratio, not percent.
