What is Conditional Probability?

Back

Conditional Probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. It is denoted as P(A|B), which reads as 'the probability of A given B'.

What does P(A|B) represent?

Back

P(A|B) represents the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred.

What is the complement of an event A?

Back

The complement of an event A, denoted as A′, is the event that A does not occur.

What are Independent Events?

Back

Independent Events are two events where the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other.

Front

What are Dependent Events?

Back

Dependent Events are two events where the occurrence of one event affects the occurrence of the other.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of two independent events A and B occurring together?

Back

For independent events, the probability of both A and B occurring is given by P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

Front

What is the probability of an event that is certain to happen?

Back

The probability of an event that is certain to happen is 1.

Front

What is the probability of an impossible event?

Back

The probability of an impossible event is 0.

If P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, what is P(A and B) if A and B are independent?

Back

If A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.3 * 0.5 = 0.15.
