Compute conditional probability as the fraction of one event's outcomes that also belong to another event.
Compute conditional probability from a finite sample space by restricting to the given event
Problem
In \(S={1,2,3,4,5,6}\), restrict to outcomes greater than \(3\), then count the even outcomes within that conditioned set to find \(P(\text{even}|\text{greater}~\text{than}~3)\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Conditioning replaces the original sample space with only outcomes satisfying the given event. We’ll restrict the list first, count the retained outcomes for the denominator, count target outcomes inside that smaller set, and form the conditional fraction without returning to the original total.
