Conditional Probability

(Probability given something happened)

The conditional probability P(A | B) reads "probability of A given B". It is the probability A happens, knowing B already happened.

Formula: P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B), when P(B) > 0.

If you know it rained, what is the chance you brought an umbrella? That is P(umbrella | rain).
