Overview

Probability is the mathematical study of uncertainty and randomness in events. Building on earlier classes, this chapter explores advanced concepts of conditional probability, independence of events, Bayes' theorem, and their applications. We learn how the occurrence of one event can affect the prob

Key Concepts

The probability of an event E

The probability of an event E occurring given that another event F has already occurred, denoted as P(E|F) = P(E∩F)/P(F), where P(F) ≠ 0. It represent

States that P(E∩F) = P(E) ×

States that P(E∩F) = P(E) × P(F|E) = P(F) × P(E|F), provided the respective probabilities are non-zero. This helps calculate the probability of simult

Two events E and F

Two events E and F are independent if P(E∩F) = P(E) × P(F), meaning the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other. Also, P(

A collection of events E₁

A collection of events E₁, E₂, ..., Eₙ that are mutually exclusive (pairwise disjoint), exhaustive (their union equals the sample space S), and each h

If E₁

If E₁, E₂, ..., Eₙ form a partition of sample space S, then for any event A: P(A) = Σ P(Eᵢ) × P(A|Eᵢ) for i = 1 to n.
