TOPIC 01

Conditional and total probability

Use conditional denominators, disjoint partitions and Bayes inversion.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

P(A\cap B)=1/9,\quad P(B)=2/9

The conditioning event must have positive probability; a total-probability partition is exhaustive and disjoint.

Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Express the event with a conditional probability or a disjoint partition.

Hint 2

Use this intermediate relation.

P(A|B)=P(A\cap B)/P(B)

Worked solution

The requested value is 0.5.

Checks and common pitfalls: Restrict the sample space to B.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Defining relation: Use conditional denominators, disjoint partitions and Bayes inversion.
$P(A|B)=P(A\cap B)/P(B)$
Conditions: The conditioning event must have positive probability; a total-probability partition is exhaustive and disjoint.
