1. Conditional Probability

2. The probability of an event A, given the occurrence of some other event B: Ex: A card is selected from a standard 52 card deck. If a red card is selected, what is the probability it is a King? Given (B) Desired (A)

3. Example 1 On the midway at the county fair, there are many popular games to play. One of them is “Flip to Spin or Roll.” You start by flipping a coin. If heads comes up, you get to spin the big wheel, which has ten equal sectors: three red, three blue, and four yellow. If the coin shows tails, you get to roll a cube with three red sides, two yellow sides, and one blue side. If your spin lands on blue, or if the blue side of the cube comes up, you win a stuffed animal. Suppose that you know that Tyler won a stuffed animal. Figure out what the probability that he started off with heads.

4. Example 1: Area Model HRHBHY TRTBTY RBY H T COIN Wheel Cube RBY If you make an area diagram, it is ok to scale the lengths differently. Find the probabilities.

5. Example 2 A survey of 500 adults asked about college expenses. The survey asked questions about whether or not the person had a child in college and about the cost of attending college. Results are shown in the table below: Cost too MuchCost Just RightCost Too Low Child in College0.300.130.01 Child not in College0.200.250.11 Suppose one person is chosen at random. Given that the person has a child in college, what is the probability that he or she ranks the cost of attending college as “cost too much”? Given child in college Desired cost too much Child in College Cost too Much
