What is the function of the multiplication law of probability?
Can you give me an example of when we would use the multiplication law of probability?
Sure! Let's say you're flipping two coins. The probability of flipping heads for one coin is 1/2, and the probability of flipping heads for the other coin is also 1/2. To find the probability of flipping heads for both coins, you would multiply the probability of one coin landing heads (1/2) by the probability of the other coin landing heads (1/2). So the probability of both coins landing heads would be 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
