How do you calculate conditional probability?

Back

Conditional probability is calculated using the formula P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B), where A is the event of interest and B is the condition.

What does it mean if two events are independent?

Back

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event occurring.

What is the probability of an event?

Back

The probability of an event is a measure of the likelihood that the event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

How do you interpret a probability of 0.5?

Back

A probability of 0.5 indicates that there is an equal chance of the event occurring or not occurring.

What is the total probability rule?

Back

The total probability rule states that the total probability of an event can be found by considering all possible ways that event can occur.

Front

What is the significance of the base rate in probability?

Back

The base rate is the underlying probability of an event occurring before any additional information is considered.

How do you find the probability of multiple independent events occurring?

Back

The probability of multiple independent events occurring is found by multiplying their individual probabilities together.
