Outline the procedure for finding probabilities of any given compound events.

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound event is an event in which has possible outcomes more than one.

To determine the probability of compound events on has to compute the sum of the probabilities of all the individual events and, if required, remove any coinciding probabilities.

Examples of compound events are:

The events of roll a five using a 6-sided die.

The number of favorable outcome is rolling a 5, is 1.

The total number of outcomes of rolling a die is 6.

Then the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

The events of pulling a heart out of a standard deck of cards

The number of favorable outcome of pulling a heart is 13.

The total number of outcomes is 52.

The probability of pulling a heart from a standard deck is 13/52 or 1/4.

Thus, the procedure is to compute the sum of the probabilities of all the individual events and, if required, remove any coinciding probabilities.
