CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY
If A and B are two events, then the conditional probability that A occurs, given that B has
 
already occurred, is written by P(A given B) or P A B and is given by

P A  B 
PA B  
P B 

IMPORTANT FORMULAS

If A and B are any events then

P A  B 
1. PA B  
P B 

P A  B 
2. PB A 
P  A

3. P A B   PB   PB A  P A
