How do we read the notation Pr(AB)\text{Pr}(A \mid B)?

The probability of A given B

In conditional probability, what does the vertical line symbol \mid mean?

Given or knowing that

Rolling a die, what is Pr(sixeven)\text{Pr}(\text{six} \mid \text{even})?

13\frac{1}{3}

In general, is Pr(AB)\text{Pr}(A \mid B) equal to Pr(BA)\text{Pr}(B \mid A)?

No, order matters in conditional probability

What is the conditional probability formula for Pr(AB)\text{Pr}(A \mid B)?

Pr(AB)Pr(B)\frac{\text{Pr}(A \cap B)}{\text{Pr}(B)}

What is the multiplication rule for conditional probability?

Pr(AB)=Pr(AB)×Pr(B)\text{Pr}(A \cap B) = \text{Pr}(A \mid B) \times \text{Pr}(B)

What is the tree diagram rule for calculating probabilities?

Multiply along, add across

If Pr(A)=0.7\text{Pr}(A)=0.7, Pr(BA)=0.4\text{Pr}(B \mid A)=0.4, what is Pr(AB)\text{Pr}(A \cap B)?

0.280.28

What is the law of total probability for events A and B?

Pr(A)=Pr(AB)Pr(B)+Pr(AB)Pr(B)\text{Pr}(A) = \text{Pr}(A \mid B)\text{Pr}(B) + \text{Pr}(A \mid B')\text{Pr}(B')
