PROBABILITY EQUATIONS

Addition Rule

P ( A B )=P ( A ) + P ( B )P( A B)

P ( A B )=P ( A ) + P ( B )

Multiplication Rule

P ( A B ) =P ( A ) x P ( B A )

P ( A B ) =P ( A ) x P ( B )

Conditional Probability

P (A B)
P( A B)=
P( B)

Bayes Theorem

P ( A B) P ( A ) x P (B A )
P( A B)= =
P(B) [ P ( A ) x P ( B A ) ] + [ P ( Ac ) x P ( B Ac ) ]
