Joint Probability of a Number of Independent Events

If two events are independent, then the joint probability of these two independent events is calculated as:

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

Example

Suppose we roll two dice. The joint probability of getting a 1 on first die and a 6 on the second die is given as follows:
