5. Which is true of dependent events? You can find the AND probability of dependent events using the formula P(A or B) = P(A) · P(B). The outcome of one event has no effect on the outcome of a second event. You can use a two-way frequency table to calculate the conditional probability of events that are dependent. The probability of all dependent events can be calculated using the OR formula P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B).
