#2.3.2 Conditional probability

ProgressNo skill scores yet

Understand and use conditional probability, including the use of tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, two-way tables.

Understand and use the conditional probability formula:

P(A∣B)=P(A∩B)P(B)P(A|B) = \dfrac{P(A∩B)}{P(B)}

Understanding and use of

  • P(A′)=1−P(A)P(A') = 1 - P(A),
  • P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B),
  • P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B∣A)P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B|A).
