In the realm of probability, events are classified as independent if the happening of one has no impact on the likelihood of the other. The probability of two such independent events both occurring can be calculated by multiplying the probability of the first event with that of the second. This principle is commonly referred to as the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events.
