What this topic asks you to be able to do
- evaluate probabilities, in simple cases, by listing the equiprobable elementary events or by working them out with permutations or combinations
- apply the addition and multiplication of probabilities, where suitable, in simple situations
- understand what exclusive and independent events mean, including testing if A and B are independent by setting P(A ∪ B) beside P(A)P(B) and comparing the two
- work out and apply conditional probabilities in simple situations
