 | For statistical dependent events (where the probability of some event is effected by the
occurrence of some other event) |
| It is called Bayes Theorem |
| P(event B given that event A has occurred) = P(B|A)
= P(B and A) / P(A) |
| P(A and B) = P(B|A) X P(A) |
| E.g.: There are 100 students in a first year college intake. 36 are male and and are
studying Pascal, 9 are male and are studying C, 42 are female and are studying Pascal and
13 are female and studying C. Find: |
| a) P(C)
b) P(Male and C)
c) P(c given students are male)
d) P(Male given students are studying C) |
