Conditional Probability

Mario bought 4 batteries, with 1 being defective. He needs to randomly select 2 batteries for use. The probability questions are about determining the chance the 2nd battery selected is not defective, either on its own or given the 1st battery selected was already not defective. This document introduces conditional probability by asking the reader to consider the probability of an event happening given certain specified conditions.
