Conditional Probability/ Two Way Tables

Front

What is Conditional Probability?

Back

Conditional Probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. It is denoted as P(A|B), which means the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred.

How do you calculate Conditional Probability?

Back

To calculate Conditional Probability, use the formula: P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B), where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of both events A and B occurring.

Front

What is a Two-Way Table?

Back

A Two-Way Table is a statistical table that displays the frequency distribution of two categorical variables. It helps in analyzing the relationship between the two variables.

Front

What does the term 'Marginal Probability' mean?

Back

Marginal Probability refers to the probability of a single event occurring without consideration of any other events. It is found by summing the probabilities of the relevant outcomes.

Front

What is the formula for finding the probability of an event using a Two-Way Table?

Back

The probability of an event can be found by dividing the frequency of the event by the total number of observations in the table.

Front

What is the difference between Joint Probability and Conditional Probability?

Back

Joint Probability is the probability of two events occurring together, while Conditional Probability is the probability of one event occurring given that another event has occurred.

Front

How can you represent Conditional Probability in a Two-Way Table?

Back

In a Two-Way Table, Conditional Probability can be represented by focusing on the row or column of the event that has occurred and calculating the probability of the other event within that subset.

Front

What is the significance of the Total Probability Rule?

Back

The Total Probability Rule states that the total probability of an event can be found by considering all possible ways that event can occur, often using conditional probabilities.

Front

How do you interpret the results from a Two-Way Table?

Back

Results from a Two-Way Table can be interpreted by analyzing the frequencies and probabilities to understand the relationship and dependencies between the two categorical variables.

Front

What is the Complement Rule in probability?

Back

The Complement Rule states that the probability of an event not occurring is equal to 1 minus the probability of the event occurring: P(A') = 1 - P(A).
