Intersection of Events and the Multiplication Rule
The multiplication rule is used to find the probability of the intersection of two or more events (i.e., the joint probability).
If the events are independent of one another, the multiplication rule is simplified.
If the events are mutually exclusive, the joint probability is zero.
