    The document explains how to calculate the conditional probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred. It provides an example using a pair of dice being rolled, with the sample space represented on a graph with 36 squares. It gives the specific events A and B, calculates the number of outcomes that satisfy each, and uses this to determine the conditional probability of A given B.

    ACTivÍTY K22 when event B

    of conditional probability of a given event A,


    Aim: To explain the computation
    Ain
    has already
    occurred, through an example of throwing a pair of dice.
    Previous Knowledge Required:
    1 Knowledge of the concept probability, same space etc.
    2. Knowledge of the concept of conditional probability.
    Materials Required
    sheets of paper, pair of scissors,
    Pair of dice, drawing board, white sheet of paper, coloured
    sketch pens, fevistik, geometry box, graph paper etc.
    Preparation/Presentation for the Activity:
    1. Take a drawing board, fix a white sheet of paper on it and finally paste a graph (square
    numbers as shown in
    sheet) sheet having 36 unit squares of size 1 cm each. Write pair of
    figure.
    2. Here, we have 36 possible outcomes. Thus, it represent the sample space of the experiment.
    3. Suppose, we have to find the
    conditional probability of an event A 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,6
    1,1 1,2
    when B has already occurred. Where
    A is the event : a number 4 appears on
    both the dice and B is the event: 4 has
    appeared on at least one of the dice. 2,1 2, 2 2, 3 2,4 2, 5 2,6
    3. Total number of possible outcomees
    favour of A is (4, 4), i.e., 1 in number.
    Total number of possible outcomes in 3, 1 3, 2 3, 3 3, 4 3, 5 3,6
    favour of B are (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, 4),
    4),(5, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, }
    6) i.e., 11 in number.
    43 4, 5 4 6
    Total number of outcomes in favour of |
    AnBis (4, 4), i.e., 1 number.
    11( A nB) = 6
    P(B) - P 5, 1 5, 2 5, 3 5, 4 5, 5 5, 6
    36

    P(A/B) = P(AnB)
    P(B)
    11 6, 2
    6,1 6,3 6,4 6, 5 6,6
    You may repeat this activity by taking
    more events.

    NOTE
    NOTE This activity is helpful in understanding tihe concept of conditional probability, which is

    very helpful in Baye's Theorem.
