Statistically Independent Events

Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-004089

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the chances of the occurrence of the other event. The mathematical formulation of the independence of events A and B is the probability of the occurrence of both A and B being equal to the product of the probabilities of A and B (i.e., P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)).
