    The conditional probability mass function (PMF) provides the probability of a random variable X given a specific outcome of another random variable Y. It is defined as the joint PMF of X and Y divided by the marginal PMF of Y. For this calculation to be valid, the probability of the outcome Y must be greater than 0.

    Conditional probability mass function, also known as the conditional PMF or the condi-

    tional mass. The conditional mass of X given Y = y is

    P (X = x, Y = y) pX,Y (x, y)
    pX|Y (x|y) = P (X = x | Y = y) = = .
    P (Y = y) pY (y)

    For all of this to make sense, need P (Y = y) > 0.
