Joint Probability of Non-Independent Events For the joint probability of non-independent events A and B, we need to use a conditional probability. For P(Zargon-AND-Abduct), we cab use P(Zargon|Abduct) or P(Abduct|Zargon). P(Zargon) x P(Abduct|Zargon) = 8 /20 x 3 /8 = 24/160 = 3 /20 P(Abduct) x P(Zargon|Abduct) = 6 /20 x 3 /6 = 18/120 = 3 /20 Here is a different problem.
