Philosophy of Science, Vol. 50, No. 1 (Mar., 1983), pp. 82-95 (14 pages) The conditional probability of h given e is commonly claimed to be equal to the probability that h would have if e were learned ...

A tree diagram is helpful for working with event intersections and conditional probabilities. A tree consists of nodes and branches representing different stages in an experiment. Tree 1 shows an ...

Venn diagrams can be useful for organising information about frequencies and probabilities, which can then be used to solve conditional probability problems. 90 pupils were asked whether they owned a ...
