What is the formula for Conditional Probability?

Back

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B), where P(A and B) is the joint probability of A and B.

If P(A) = 0.6 and P(B) = 0.5, what is P(A and B) if A and B are independent?

Back

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.6 * 0.5 = 0.3.

What is the relationship between P(A|B) and P(B|A)?

Back

They are related through Bayes' theorem: P(A|B) = [P(B|A) * P(A)] / P(B).

If the probability of event A is 0.4 and the probability of event B is 0.3, what is P(A|B) if A and B are dependent?

Back

P(A|B) cannot be determined without additional information about the relationship between A and B.

What is the significance of the denominator in the conditional probability formula?

Back

The denominator, P(B), represents the total probability of the condition under which we are calculating the probability of A.
