Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Conditional Probability | Probability of the event E is called the conditional probability of E given that F has already occurred, and is denoted by P (E|F). |

| Gadgets | How it can be used |
|---|---|
| Toss two coins | Find the probability of getting head on second coin if there is tail on first coin. |

Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Probability that the sum of two die will be greater than 8, given that the first die is 6? | 6 on the first die is the condition and probability of sum greater than 8 is the conditional probability. |
