    Conditional probability, P(B|A), is the probability of event B occurring given that event A has already occurred. It is calculated as the probability that both events A and B occur divided by the probability of event A alone. Two events are independent if knowing that event A occurred provides no information about the likelihood of event B, or if P(B|A) equals P(B).

    3 More About Probability Day 1 Conditional Probability Notation: P ( B A ) read as probability of B given A P ( B A) =

    P ( A and B ) P ( A)

    Event A must happen first

    Independent Events Two events with positive probabilities are independent if


    P ( B A) = P ( B )

    This means that knowing that A already occurred tells us nothing about whether or not B will occur
