Presentation 9: Independent Events, The Law of Total Probability, and Markov Chains
Channel: Mathematical Science Research Launchpad
Date: 30/07/2020

This video lesson builds upon the concept of conditional probability we established in the previous video lesson (https://youtu.be/mJ_Wbp3nPN0). We'll now develop both the definition of independent events and intuition about what they represent. We'll also derive the law of total probability and apply it to our ongoing example of modeling vegetation dynamics in desert plant communities with markov chains.

This video lesson supports the Probability and Statistics Core Learning Resource (CLR) (https://mathsciresearchlaunchpad.wordpress.com/probability-and-statistics/) at the Mathematical Science Research Launchpad.
