= Solution

Two <independent events> satisfy \b[$\mathbb P(A\cap B)=\mathbb P(A)\mathbb P(B)$]. If $\mathbb P(B)>0$, this is equivalent to $\mathbb P(A\mid B)=\mathbb P(A)$: learning that $B$ occurred does not change the <probability> of $A$. The product definition also covers zero-probability events without dividing by zero.
