Conditional Probability

Overview


Cponditional probability deals with situations where a probability space has been defined and there is additional information which constrains the space.

As an example, consider the situation of rolling two fair six sided die. One can formulate a set of outcomes and assign probabilities. Now, assume that one is told that the sum of the two die is equal to four. This represents new information, and any probabilistic statements made using the formulated probability space would be inaccurate wihtout accounting for the the given information.
