Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the dependent and independent events. Every conditional probability is a probability. Every theorem, which is proved for an ordinary probability, is also true for any conditional probability. The events in a collection of events are independent if the probability of the joint occurrence of any finite number of them equals the product of their probabilities. Each instantaneous decrease in mass is because of the emission of an alpha particle. The amount of each instantaneous decrease is the same, namely, the mass decrease because of loss of an alpha particle. The relative frequency with which alpha particles are emitted during a specified time interval remains relatively constant.
