They are what we call statistically independent events.

它们就是我们所说的统计独立事件。

Those are independent events, so their odds are 56% times 51%, or 29%.

这些是独立事件，所以它们的几率是 56% 乘以 51%，即 29%。

Independent events are not influenced by the occurrence or non-occurrence of other events.

独立事件不受其他事件发生或不发生的影响。

Multiplication Rule: The probability of the intersection of two or more independent events is the product of their individual probabilities.

乘法规则：两个或多个独立事件相交的概率是它们各自概率的乘积。

Let's just say that every shot I take they're independent events and that, in general, I have a 30% chance of making any given basket.

假设我的每一次投篮都是独立的事件，一般来说， 我有 30% 的机会投进任何给定的篮筐。

Also, pandemics are usually random, independent events: so even if the yearly probability of a COVID-19-level pandemic is 1%, we could absolutely get another one in ten years.

此外，大流行通常是随机的、独立的事件：因此，即使每年发生 COVID-19 级别大流行的概率为 1%， 我们也绝对可以在十年内再发生一次。
