After careful consideration I&#x27;ve always enjoyed how:<p><pre><code>    p(rain,coat) = p(rain) * p(coat | rain)
</code></pre>
Can be pronounced: &quot;the probability of rain, and coat (wearing) is the probability of rain times the probability of (my wearing a) coat given rain&quot;.  This intuitively showcases how the order of independent events doesn&#x27;t effect the outcome, since after all:<p><pre><code>    p(coat,rain) = p(rain,coat) = p(rain) * p(coat | rain)</code></pre>
