For example, There are 3 bags, each containing some white marble and some black marble in each bag. If
a white nmarble is drawn at random. What is the probability of finding this white marble from the first bag?
In cases like such, we use Bayes Theorem. It is used where the probability of occurrence of a particular
event is calculated based on other conditions called conditional probability.
What is Bayes' Theorem?
Bayes theorem is also known as the Bayes Rule or Bayes Law. It is used to determine the conditional
probability of event A when eventB has already happened. The general statement of Bayes' theorem is
"The conditional probability of an event A, given the occurrence of another event B, is equal to the
product of the event of B, given A and the probability of Adivided by the probability of event B. " i.e.
P(4/B) =:P(BIA)*P(4)
P(B)
