Outcomes
In this lesson you will
- explore how to calculate conditional probabilities
- connect conditional probabilities with tree diagrams as a way of calculating probability
- Develop a generalization for P(A l B)
By the end of this section students will be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the Fundamental Counting Principle and apply it to calculate probabilities of dependent and independent events
- determine conditional probability
- apply area diagrams and tree diagrams to interpret and determine probabilities of dependent and independent events
Prerequisites
To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:
- tree diagrams
- calculating probabilities
