A) they must be mutually exclusive.
B) the sum of their probabilities must be equal to one.
C) their intersection must be zero.
D) the product of their probabilities gives their intersection.
Independent Events

Probabilities
The quantification of an event's occurrence likelihood, represented as a figure from 0 to 1.
