Probability of Compound Events

Think you’re a probability expert? Have we got a little challenge for you! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby show you how to calculate probabilities for compound, or linked, events. You’ll review the process for calculating odds for a single event, and then learn how to add and subtract two or more probabilities. To understand how this works, you’ll discover the difference between exclusive and inclusive events, and how to handle each type. Using a simple toy spinner, Tim and Moby give you a 100 percent chance of understanding compound probabilities!
