Mr. Small explains the difference between regular and conditional probability using a two-way table. He demonstrates how to fill in the table with totals and calculate probabilities. Regular probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. Conditional probability is determined by focusing on a subset of data, given a specific condition. Examples are provided to illustrate both types of probability calculations.

What are the two types of categories discussed in the two-way table?

• Students who are in the band and students who are not

• Students who are on the student council and students who are not

• Students who play sports and students who don't

• Students who take the bus and students who walk
