IB DP Maths: AA HL复习笔记4.3.2 Conditional Probability
Conditional Probability
What is conditional probability?
- Conditional probability is where the probability of an event happening can vary depending on the outcome of a prior event
- The event A happening given that event B has happened is denoted A|B
- A common example of conditional probability involves selecting multiple objects from a bag without replacement
- The probability of selecting a certain item changes depending on what was selected before
- This is because the total number of items will change as they are not replaced once they have been selected
- The probability of selecting a certain item changes depending on what was selected before
How do I calculate conditional probabilities?
- Some conditional probabilities can be calculated by using counting outcomes
- Probabilities without replacement can be calculated like this
- For example: There are 10 balls in a bag, 6 of them are red, two of them are selected without replacement
- To find the probability that the second ball selected is red given that the first one is red count how many balls are left:
How do I tell if two events are independent using conditional probabilities?
-
This is given in the formula booklet
Worked Example
