Lesson review：
Today we have finished the second half of Chapter 8: Basic Probability Techniques and Chapter 9: Think about it!

1. Addition or Multiplication
   We add probabilities of exclusive events: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B);
   and multiply probabilities of independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) X P(B)
2. Independent VS Dependent Events
   Independent Events: the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring.
   Dependent Events: the probability of one event occurring influences the likelihood of the other event.
3. Avoid unnecessary computation:
   1) take advantage of symmetry
   2) ignore the irrelevant information
   3) consider multiple events at once instead of dealing with them separately
   4) be flexible, think out of the box!
