Questions and Answers

What is the definition of joint probability according to the text?

  • The probability of an event irrespective of the other variables.
  • The probability of one variable being dependent on a second variable.
  • The probability of simultaneous events, such as the outcomes of two different random variables. (correct)
  • The probability of an output given an input example.

What is the relationship between joint probability and the 'fundamental rule of probability' or 'product rule' or 'chain rule' of probability?
