Students know:

Possible relationships and differences between the simple probability of an event and the probability of an event under a condition.

Students are able to:

Accurately determine the probability of simple and compound events.
Accurately determine the conditional probability P(A given B) from a sample space or from the knowledge of P(A and B) and the P(B).

Students understand that:

Conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has occurred.

Example: Contrast the chance of having lung cancer if you are a smoker with the chance of being a smoker if you have lung cancer.
