KEY CONCEPTS AND VOCABULARY
When events A and B are dependent, the probability of B occurring depends on whether A has already occurred. This kind of probability is called conditional probability. The probability of B given that A has occurred is written as V

CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
EXAMPLE 1: FINDING CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY Use the table to find each probability. a) P(volunteer a junior) 39/80 b) P(volunteer female) 37/80 c) P(volunteer a senior and male) 25/80 d) P(volunteer a junior | volunteer female) 21/37 e) P(volunteer male | volunteer a senior) 25/41 CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENT VOLUNTEERS GRADE LEVEL MALE FEMALE JUNIOR 18 21 SENIOR 25 16

EXAMPLE 2: FINDING CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY
Students were surveyed regarding their favorite out of blue, green, red, and orange. Their gender was also recorded. Find the probability that a student is a boy, given that the student prefers red. 62%; 62% of the students who prefer red are males Find the probability that a student prefers blue, given that the student is a girl. 42.5%; 42.5% of the students who are female like blue Find the probability that a student is a girl, given that the student prefers green. 47%; 47% of the students who like green are girls FAVORITE COLOR GENDER BLUE RED GREEN ORANGE TOTAL MALE 12 16 9 3 40 FEMALE 17 10 8 5 29 26 80

EXAMPLE 3: CREATING A TREE DIAGRAM
Suppose a class is 55% male. Of the males, 34% are at least 68 inches tall. Of the females, 12% are at least 68 inches tall. a) Create a tree diagram. 34% At Least 68in Male 55% Under 68in 66% 12% At Least 68in 45% Under 68in Female 88%

EXAMPLE 3: Interpreting A TREE DIAGRAM
P(Under 68 inches and Male) .55∗.66= 36.3% P(At Least 68 inches and Male) .55∗.34=18.7% d) P(Under 68 inches and Female) .45∗.88=39.6% e) P(At Least 68 inches and Female) .45∗.12= 5.4% P(at least 68in|female) = 12% g) P(under 68in|male) = 66% H) P(under 68 in) .55 ∗ ∗.88= 75.9% 34% At Least 68in Male 55% Under 68in 66% 12% At Least 68in 45% Under 68in Female 88%
