Conditional Probability
Course Topic(s): Probability | Basic Probability, conditional probability
This is an html page that is a part of a larger exposition on probability. The definition of conditional probability is given and several examples involving dice, drawing straws, and aging are explored. A couple of print references are given. The exposition is generally good, but the notation is poor since only html formatting is used.
