Section 2.5: Independence

1. State the rough intuition behind independence of two events.
2. State the four equivalent conditions needed for two events to be independent.
3. Use independence, in addition to the previous probability rules (addition rule, multiplication rule, complementation rule, etc.), to find the probability of a compound event.
4. Distinguish between independent and mutually exclusive events.
5. State the conditions that must be met for a collection of \(n\) events to be mutually independent.
