This is a conditional probability where the condition is being republican and the probability is 80%. This is in contrast with the overall probability of being republican and being in favor which also shares a sample space with republican's who aren't, liberals who are, liberals who aren't, independents who are, and independents who aren't. Given this, the overall probability is far lower than the conditional probability which is generally the case. diff --git a/ConditionalProbabilityTheroem.md b/ConditionalProbabilityTheroem.md @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +:prob: +# Conditional Probability Threoem + +L2 + +## Notes + +**Definition:** Conditional probability theroem is $P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$. + +This theroem is used to find the probability of some outcome given another piece of information.
