📚 Key Concepts

  • Conditional Probability
    • P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)
    • Updating probability given new information
    • Dependent vs Independent events
  • Multiplication Theorem
    • P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B|A)
    • For independent events: P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)
  • Independent Events
    • P(A|B) = P(A)
    • P(B|A) = P(B)
    • No influence on each other
  • 🎯 Key Formulas

  • Bayes' Theorem:
    • P(A|B) = [P(B|A) × P(A)]/P(B)
    • P(B) = P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|A')P(A')
  • Addition Rule:
    • P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
  • Probability Tree:
    • Multiply along branches
    • Add for different paths
  • ⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Confusing independent/dependent events
  • Wrong application of Bayes' theorem
