Last updated: 8/16/2025

Key Concepts:

  • Definition of Conditional Probability: The probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred.
  • Computing Conditional Probability: (P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}) where (P(A | B)) represents the probability of A occurring given B is true.

Skills Covered:

  • Extracting data to compute conditional probability.
  • Understanding probability in subset-based conditions.

Example Problems:

  • A study groups participants into age brackets. If a participant is at least 30 years old, what is the probability they belong to Group A?
  • A tree grove contains birch and maple trees. If a tree is at least 10 feet tall, what is the probability it is a maple tree?
