Question

Which of the following is an example of conditional probability?

A.) probability of hitting a home run, given that you didn't strike out
B.) probability of getting an A on a test
C.) probability of drawing a club from a deck of 52 cards
D.) probability of hitting a home run

Answer 1

A) because it is the probability of something happening given that another event has occured

Answer 2

A.) probability of hitting a home run, given that you didn't strike out

Explanation:

For Conditional probability, the event should be dependent events. It means that probability of one event depends on the others.

In conditional probability, generally we find the probability of an event and the condition is that the other event has already been occured.

Therefore, from the given options, (A) is the correct example for conditional probability. Since, it has been already given that "you didn't strike out " and we have to find the probability of hitting a home run.
