P(A|B)= P(A n B) / P(B)

P(A n B) = probability of both A and B happening

to check for independence you see if P(A|B) = P(B)

How do you find A complement given B complement?

P(A given B')=[P(A)-P(AnB)]/[1-P(B)].


How does one find the probability of A given B compliment?

P(A given B')=[P(A)-P(AnB)]/[1-P(B)].In words: Probability of A given B compliment is equal to the Probability of A minus the Probability of A intersect B, divided by 1 minus the probability of B.


What is multiplication rule in probability?

Given two events, A and B, the conditional probability rule states that P(A and B) = P(A given that B has occurred)*P(B) If A and B are independent, then the occurrence (or not) of B makes no difference to the probability of A happening. So that P(A given that B has occurred) = P(A) and therefore, you get P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)


Probability of A compliment given by B?

P(A'/B)=P(A'nB)/P(B)


Give the example of why probabilities of A given B and B given A are not same?

Let's try this example (best conceived of as a squared 2x2 table with sums to the side). The comma here is an AND logical operator. P(A, B) = 0.1 P(A, non-B) = 0.4 P(non-A, B) = 0.3 P(non-A, non-B) = 0.2 then P(A) and P(B) are obtained by summing on the different sides of the table: P(A) = P(A, B) + P(A, non-B) = 0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 P(B) = P(A,B) + P(non-A, B) = 0.1 + 0.3 = 0.4 so P(A given B) = P (A, B) / P (B) = 0.1 / 0.4 = 0.25 also written P(A|B) P(B given A) = P (A,B) / P (A) = 0.1 / 0.5 = 0.2 The difference comes from the different negated events added to form the whole P(A) and P(B). If P(A, non-B) = P (B, non-A) then P(A) = P(B) and also P(A|B) = P(B|A).

If the occurrence of B makes A more likely does the occurrence of A make B more likely?

This is a tricky question, but if you study probability, re-writing it in mathematical notations and using simple definitions and algebra would show you that the answer is yes. We could rewrite the question as: if B occur, A is more likely to occur, Probability of A happening given B happened > probability of A happening P( A given B) > P(A) Is it true that in this case, P(B given A) > P(B)? by definition, P( B given A) = P(A and B) / P( A) = P( A given B) * P(B) / P(A) Since P( A given B) > P(A), then P( A given B)/ P(A) > 1 thus P( B given A) > P(B) and the answer is true, occurence of A makes B more likely. Say A = lung cancer, B = smoking. If someone is smoking, they are more likely to have lung cancer. If someone has lung cancer, they are more likely to be a smoker or have smoked (compared to being a non-smoker).

What is the formula for inclusive events?

The probability of inclusive events A or B occurring is given by P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), where P(A) and P(B) represent the probabilities of events A and B occurring, respectively.


How do you solve for the probability of dependent events?

P(A)=.35 P(B given A)=0.6 P(A and B)= ?


What is the product rule and the sum rule of probability?

Sum Rule: P(A) = \sum_{B} P(A,B) Product Rule: P(A , B) = P(A) P(B|A) or P(A, B)=P(B) P(A|B) [P(A|B) means probability of A given that B has occurred] P(A, B) = P(A) P(B) , if A and B are independent events.


How do you find the probability of independent and dependent events?

P(A given B)*P(B)=P(A and B), where event A is dependent on event B. Finding the probability of an independent event really depends on the situation (dart throwing, coin flipping, even Schrodinger's cat...).


How do you get the rate when the base and percentage is given?

The rate usually is the percentage.
