Conditional probability

The conditional probability of an event is the probability of the event given that another event has already occurred. For events A and B, we write the conditional probability of A given B as Pr(AB), and a formula for this conditional probability is given by the following:

Pr(AB)=Pr(A and B)/Pr(B).

where Pr(A and B) is the probability of both A and B occurring.
