Exploring Conditional Probability Concepts

The video tutorial covers conditional probability, starting with an introduction to the concept and its formula. It provides examples using numbers 1 to 10 to calculate probabilities of odd, prime, and both odd and prime numbers. The tutorial then uses a Venn diagram to analyze a survey of 150 students involved in honors, sports, and music, calculating various conditional probabilities. The video concludes with solving probability questions and emphasizes the importance of checking calculations.

What is the formula for the probability of event B occurring given that event A has occurred?

• P(A and B) / P(A)

• P(A) / P(B)

• P(A) * P(B)

• P(B) / P(A and B)
