Conditional Probability
- Probability of A given B. P(A|B).
- With 2 6 sided dice, what is the Probability I'll roll a 9 (A) if I roll
a 4 (B) with the first dice?
- With 2 6 sided dice, what is the Probability I'll roll a 9 (A) if I roll
a 2 (B) with the first dice?
- You can use these conditions and other operator to build complex
probability graphs.
- This fits in closely with Bayesian Decision Trees.
- Note that in the dice and card cases you know the probability (assuming
the dice are true).
- There's often a big problem in determining the actual probability
of an event.
- Experiments can't actually determine the probability of events, just
probabilities with variance.
