What is multiplication rule of probability?

According to the multiplication rule of probability, the probability of occurrence of both the events A and B is equal to the product of the probability of B occurring and the conditional probability that event A occurring given that event B occurs.

If A and B are dependent events, then the probability of both events occurring simultaneously is given by:

P(A ∩ B) = P(B) . P(A|B)

If A and B are two independent events in an experiment, then the probability of both events occurring simultaneously is given by:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
