[PSDR] Definition 2.1.
Terminology for statistical experiments:
[PSDR] Definition 2.5
Let \(A\) and \(B\) be events in a sample space \(S\).
[PSDR] Definition 2.7
Let \(S\) be a sample space. A valid probability satisfies the following probability axioms:
[PSDR] Theorem 2.1
Let \(A\) and \(B\) be events in the sample space \(S\).
[PSDR] Definition 2.20
Two events are said to be independent if knowledge that one event occurs does not give any probabilistic information as to whether the other event occurs. Formally, we say that \(A\) and \(B\) are independent if \(P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)\).
Events \(A\) and \(B\) are said to be dependent if they are not independent.
