4: Conditional Probability
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 4.1: Discrete Conditional Probability
- In this section we ask and answer the following question. Suppose we assign a distribution function to a sample space and then learn that an event E has occurred. How should we change the probabilities of the remaining events? We shall call the new probability for an event F the and denote it by P(F|E).
- 4.3: Paradoxes
- One must be very careful in dealing with problems involving conditional probability.
