The concept of dependent events is employed when determining one event's outcome influences the result of another event. In this regard, the calculation of the probability of dependent events involves the multiplication of the probability of the initial event by the probability of the subsequent event, considering that the first event has already transpired. This technique is highly useful in forecasting outcomes in diverse scenarios.
