Modeling Conditional Probability in Probability Experiments

This video tutorial introduces the concept of conditional probability, explaining it through examples. The first example involves calculating the probability of selecting a blue triangle from a bag of shapes. The second example involves determining the probability of rolling a prime number on a die, given that the outcome is odd. The tutorial concludes by comparing these examples with the conditional probability formula, emphasizing the relationship between the numerator and denominator in probability calculations.

Explain the concept of conditional probability in your own words.

How do you determine the numerator and denominator when calculating conditional probability?

In the example with Miss Rizzo, how many blue shapes are triangles?

What is the probability of rolling a prime number given that the outcome is an odd number?

What is the relationship between the counts used in the fraction and the conditional probability formula?
