In this lesson, we are going to talk about independence. We have already seen the definition of independence in the introductory lectures. In this one however, we are going to really study it more closely in a bunch of examples and try to get you comfortable with the idea of independence. The idea of independence is that if you evaluate the probability of A without thinking about B, and then, if you evaluated the probability of A, already knowing that B is true, you get the same answer either way. This idea is very commonly misinterpreted by students, so check the video for some useful tips and examples.
