Bayes' Theorem

Given two events A and B with P (B) ≠ 0, P (AǀB) = P(BǀA) ⋅ P(A)/ P(B) . Another form is P (AǀB) = P(BǀA) ⋅ P(A)/ P(BǀA) ⋅ P(A) + P(BǀAc) ⋅ P(Ac).

A probability experiment is an activity involving chance. Each repetition of the experiment is called a trial and each possible result of the experiment is termed an outcome. A set of outcomes is known as an event, and the set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space.

Probability measures how likely an event is to occur. An event that is impossible has a probability of 0, while an event that is certain has a probability of 1. All other events have a probability between 0 and 1. When all the outcomes of a probability experiment are equally likely, the theoretical probability of an event A in the sample space S is given by P(A) = number of outcomes in the event/number of outcomes in the sample space = n(A)/n(S) .

Mutually exclusive events

Two events are mutually exclusive events if they cannot both occur in the same trial of an experiment. For example, if you flip a coin it cannot land heads up and tails up in the same trial. Therefore, the events are mutually exclusive.

Overlapping event

Two events are overlapping events (or inclusive events) if they have one or more outcomes in common.
