Outcomes
In this lesson you will
- explore conditional probabilities with area diagrams
- confirm the generalization for P(A l B) using area as a concrete example
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:
- P(A l B) generalization
- area diagrams and their application to probabilities
