Review Conditional Probability –Denoted P(A|B), it represents the probability that A will occur given that B occurred. Independent events –Two events A and B are independent if: the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the other. P(A|B)=P(A) P(B|A)=P(B) P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Example You are given the following information about 25 members of a sports club. Choose a person at random. a) What is the probability the chosen person is a women or non drinker? b) What is the probability the chosen person is a man and a moderate drinker? c) If the chosen person is a man, what is the probability he is a heavy drinker?

Tree diagrams One can keep track of conditional probabilities on a tree diagram. For example:
Tree diagrams Three manufacture locations provide computer chips for Nortel Networks. Plants in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal supply 60%, 25% and 15% respectively of computer chips for Nortel. The quality control department determines: 1% of chips from the plant in Toronto are defective 2% of chips from the plant in Van. are defective 2% of chips from the plant in Montreal are defective. - What is the probability that one of these chips is defective?
