• Calculating Conditional and Unconditional Probabilities

  Conditional probability is written P(A|B), and is read "the (conditional) probability of A, given B" or "the probability of A under the condition B".

• Bayes Theorem

  Conditional probability is examined.

• Conditional Distribution

  Do you see any patterns in the conditional probability distributions you calculated above? There is clearly a pattern above. The conditional probability of both demands being high is very low.

• Finding the conditional probability that a prisoner will be executed.

  This is a conditional probability question. The unconditional probability of Matthew to be executed is obviously 2/3, and the unconditional probability of Matthew NOT to be executed is 1/3. Because there's no addtional information.

• Normal distribution :Probability and conditional probability

  This provides examples of calculating probability and conditional probability from normal distributions.

• Discrete Distributions: Chips Being Red

  Since P(X=0)=(5/6)^2=0.6944, the conditional probability is bigger. This is not unusual, as the conditional probability is always greater than or equal to the corresponding prior probability.
