Independence

In Two Events

$ P(A \bigcap B) = P(A) \times P(B) $

For example, given a coin, are the two outcomes independent?

$ P( \lbrace C_1=H \rbrace \bigcap \lbrace C_2 =H \rbrace ) $

[1]

In Multiple Events

Conditional Probability

A & B are conditionally independent given C if the following formula holds true.

$ P(A \bigcap B|C) = P(A|C) \times P(B|C) $

Alumni Liaison

Basic linear algebra uncovers and clarifies very important geometry and algebra.
