A conditional probability of an event is a probability obtained with knowledge that some other event has already occurred.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional probability of an event (A) is a probability obtained with knowledge that some other event (B) has already occurred and is denoted as P(A|B).
It satisfies the following equation:
P(A|B)=P(A and B) / P(B)
where P(A and B) is the probability of A and B occurring together.
Conditional probability is applied in many areas of Bayesian statistics and machine learning.
