Conditional probability & independence Conditional Probabilities • Question: How should we modify P(E) if we learn that event F has occurred? • Derivation: Suppose we repeat the experiment n times. Let n(E ∩ F) be the number of times that both E and F occur, and n(F) the number of times F occurs. • The proportion of times E occurs only counting trials where F occurs is
