Welcome to Week 7 Lecture 4 of the course "Statistics for Data Science - I" by Prof. Andrew Thangaraj. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSMA1002.html Video Overview This lecture introduces the concept of independent events in probability and connects it to the ideas of joint, marginal, and conditional probabilities. Building on the multiplication rule, the lecture explains what it means for events to be independent and how this independence impacts conditional probability. Through simple and intuitive examples such as coin toss experiments, we explore the formal definition of independence and understand how to verify it using intersection and individual probabilities. This session strengthens your understanding of how event relationships shape probability outcomes.
