Understand conditional probability and connect independence to unchanged conditional probabilities.
Write a conditional probability statement in notation
Problem
Represent the probability of \(A\) given \(B\) with standard conditional-probability notation, placing the condition after the vertical bar.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Writing a conditional requires preserving which event is measured and which event supplies the condition. We’ll place the target before the vertical bar, place the restricted group after it, use standard probability notation, and read the result back to confirm the direction.
