Q:

Which of the following is an example of conditional probability? A. probability of hitting a home runB. probability of drawing a club from a deck of 52 cards, given that the card you draw isn’t a heart C. probability of drawing a club from a deck of 52 cardsD. probability of getting an A on a test

Accepted Solution

A:
The answer here would be

B. probability of drawing a club from a deck of 52 cards, given that the card you draw isn’t a heart 

Why? All other answers are just normal probability, however, "given that the card you draw isn't a heart" transforms this worm into a butterfly.

That is the core difference between a conditional probability, and a plain ol' probability.

Let me know if I'm wrong! :D
