An Introduction to Conditional Probability

[@barrowmeoct04]

I failed probability last year and retaking it this year. Your explanation of Pr (A|B) using the Venn diagram is so absurdly logical I am floored. It's 100 times easier to see than trying to use numbers and algebra. I've yet to learn how to understand concepts in this 'different' way.

[@hemm2333]

Best explanation ever had. I love when he says, please do me a small favour and don't memorise the formula. That's how every teacher should be ❤

[@rafaelant]

Believe me, gentleman, you are really good at this!

[@jbstatistics]

Thanks!

[@battlecrusecruse9155]

someone give this guy a medal. he is clearing my basics, from the past 3-4 years just confused with this topic and has avoided it .have no words for your efforts really thanks a lot for such awesome video

[@maestro_100]

Informal definition + Formal definition + Intuitive explanation of the definition + examples + further insight on future topics=Amazing Video! ...Thanks so much!

[@jbstatistics]

You're very welcome! It's one of my faves.

[@Andynath100]

Your explanation of conditional probability using the Venn Diagram just blew my mind. So much easier to grasp the topic when you get an intuitive explanation of the topic.

[@Francois6048]

people like you who put effort in helping others understand things are just great human beings. thanks

[@Daniel-to5jd]

the best explanation I've found about this topic so far, thank you man

[@cheezey3295]

Failed my probability test. This is one of the best explanations I've seen on this topic.

[@kousalyadevi5209]

Thank you for taking the effort to explain the statistical concepts intuitively!

[@angela2366]

I have struggled and struggled with this and came across your video....wow....I FINALLY have it! Thank you so much!

[@veronikav8436]

I watched lots of video on youtube but no one explains as clear then you, now i got conditional probability:) THANKS men

[@jbstatistics]

I'm glad to be of help!

[@hareemabdulrauf1746]

this is the best lecture i have ever attended

[@jbstatistics]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@bryonthestingily]

Such high quality content. You have a gift for deepening other human's understanding of this stuff :)

[@jbstatistics]

Well, I can't ask for a nicer compliment than that! Thanks so much for the very kind words!

[@tonynikolaos3527]

@@jbstatistics Indeed, i went through a lot of materiaql on YT- and find your elaborations the most natural, relaxed, intuitive and clear. Kudos! ... and BIG Thanks!

[@Kisembobusiness]

this is the best explanation of conditional probability ever. I love how the explanation creates a foundation for what independent events are. thank you sir

[@jbstatistics]

Thank you so much for the very kind words!

[@qulummmdov6572]

High Quality content, well explained. You sir have my appreciation!

[@jbstatistics]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@sonwabilecira37]

Hallelujah! Thank you. The first video to actually make me understand instead of assuming that the logic of conditional probability is inherent

[@foodtips8515]

Your explanations are very good. Real life saver

[@jorgegonzalez-ec5fl]

Amazing explanation!!! I like that you explain the formula and don’t just tell us to memorize it

[@spicyornot1787]

Made perfect sense. Watched several ones before.. but none made it this clear.

[@exia124578]

I'm having to retake Probability and Statistics this semester after dropping it last and seeing you upload has given me new hope for this semester. Thanks for the great videos man!

[@jbstatistics]

You are very welcome! I'm not sure how many I'll be able to produce and upload this semester, but I'll see what I can do!

[@cococnk388]

This is what i had at first: S= (0,1,10,100) A=S1(10,100) B=S2(10) P(B/A) = P(A n B)/ P(A) = (1/4)/ (2/4)=1/2 =0.5 What I did above works if an only if they (payouts) do have the same probabilities.... but the probabilities differ according to the payout. Thanks alot sir

[@BatterflyHigh]

This is the first time this has ever made sense to me!! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@Luke-nh5tu]

This is by far the best explanation I have seen, the visualisation of the notation applied on diagram is really helpful because it tells you the whole story. Thank you (one more subscriber)

[@monczokapplehelp]

Your are the best statistics channel out there, thank you! Could you please do a video about equivalence testing? In a world of data sites getting bigger and bigger good old hypothesis tests are not enough anymore

[@alvaromiro2931]

Cristal clear. I love concepts stepping on top of formulae!!!

[@jbstatistics]

Thanks!

[@emporia100]

The best video for introductory conditional probability!

[@123XTSK]

A High level clarity has been provided....with intuitive values.

[@roy601912008]

Thank you so much for making this video! I just started learning statistic on Coursera, but the teacher there makes it complicated and way too difficult to understand. And then I found your video! You are a life saver. Keep up the good job!

[@niconetz2008]

I'm 20 years old, i've studied this topic like 4 times and i thought that i had understood it. Now I really understand it

[@sakshichawla8236]

This video helped me understand the answer to the question I was looking in all the videos .... thank you

[@predatox1779]

I have a prob and stats quiz tomorrow and this helped me immensely! Thank you very much!

[@presmompatigilbert5515]

I am enjoying this more than I do with my lecture, thank you Sir

[@siddhantbajpai5889]

The best video on Bayes theorem! Kudos to you brother!

[@Joe-km7xi]

This is an amazing video, my professor rushed through this in like 2 minutes. Thank you!

[@Cleisthenes2]

I feel like the probability of me understanding statistics has increased given that I have now watched this video.

[@Rsingh1]

Out of other videos this is superbest and at the top level because of sooo clear explaination i have imediately subscribed it..... Fabulous... Instead of focusing only on solving Qs through formulae .. Explaination of those is also provided.

[@jbstatistics]

I'm glad you've found this video helpful!

[@onurcam34]

Thanks a lot for these great videos. I'm learning a lot more than I did in college lectures.

[@jbstatistics]

You are very welcome!

Whatta legend. Helping my masters sail through !

[@alexmorton5556]

Thank you so much! I finally understand the conditional probability formula.

[@zineddine]

Fantastic! Especially when you said: do me a favour, don’t try to memorize the formula

[@Ujamama]

it is the best one i have even see explaining the content thank u !

[@Lil-lc2di]

Thank you this video really helped! I've already watched several videos on the topic but they just confused me more :'). Really appreciated the diagram around 4:30 personally.

[@ashishprasadverma9428]

thankyou soo much , before this i was never able to understand conditional probab

[@cleanestboi5854]

i like that you promote logic and intuitive understanding, its the best way to be prepared if you have a deep understanding

[@jbstatistics]

Thanks for the kind words. This is definitely not a "how to" channel -- I try very hard to help students develop a deep understanding of the concepts.

[@marcosandoval7260]

Great Job!. The best statistics channel on KZbin!.

[@jbstatistics]

It is indeed :) Thanks Marco!

[@miguelfonseca1104]

you did well, the division part of the conditional probability really threw me off, but the way you explain just made me realize in non-conditional probability, the probability in a sense has a denominator of 1 which signifies "from the whole sample space", when you add given, you must divide to specify its a part of which (partial whole). Thank you. Other videos dont make that clear.

[@hammadullahshaikh4735]

Good explanation.plz if u have ha time can u explain 6:36 that how p(A) = 5/6 and p(A/B) = 3/4 have relation 5/6 is the probability of {1, 2, 3, 4,5} elements out of six {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} but 3/4 is the probability of {3, 4, 5} elements out of { 2, 4, 5, 6} when we reduced it's sample space . Finally I want to ask when we reduced sample space then every element of A is not in reduced sample space

[@MinhHaNguyen05]

Hi Jb, great videos like other has joyfully pointed out. I’m a bit confused by the wording of example of rolling a dice at 6:19 tho, would you mind clarifying if you had time please? You see the P(A|B) with event A ={1,2,3,4,5,6}, I would interpret it as what is the probability of rolling 1->5 given we have already rolled 3->6. So when the answer is 3/4, which you only took a part that overlap between 2 events, it confuses me a bit.

[@jbstatistics]

We are given that event B happens. So the number that comes up on the top face is a 3, 4, 5, or 6. That is our reduced sample space, or, in other words, the little universe in which we now reside. So we're sitting in a universe in which the number is a 3, 4, 5, or 6. What is the probability that A occurs if we are in such a universe? Well, there are 4 equally likely possibilities in this universe, and 3 of them (3, 4, and 5) are in A. So P(A|B) = 3/4. (Since A occurs if the number is a 3, 4, or 5, and doesn't occur if the number is a 6. There are no other possibilities.) When we condition on an event, we are taking as a given that it occurs, so our universe reduces down to the universe in which that event occurs.

[@MinhHaNguyen05]

@@jbstatistics oh gosh, that makes so much sense, and so speedy!. I’m sorry if this bothers you because you have already explained it in the “Intro vid for conditional probability”. Thank you JB, big help! P/S: Are you coming up with new videos? If you had a course that teaches statistic somewhere, I would totally support it.

[@jbstatistics]

@@MinhHaNguyen05 You're very welcome. I'm always happy to help when someone is trying and can't understand something. Conditional probability can be a little tricky, and there aren't many others that explain it in the fashion I do (there are some, to be sure, but most folks on youtube know just enough to jam things into the formula so you don't typically get this take). The conditional probability formula is just a formalization of the logic used in this example. New videos are always part of the plan. Time for new videos is always another story. I'm currently doing a big rewrite of my notes/text and mapping out in my brain what new videos I'd like to make. I'll likely be able to roll new videos out starting in the summer. I don't have an online course anywhere, other than through my university. Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy to be of help.

[@MinhHaNguyen05]

@@jbstatistics you are unbelievably kind! Rooting here to learn more from you, JB!

[@riahmatic]

I was confused by this at first as well. Key realization for me was (being rusty on probability) that the event occurs if any of its numbers are rolled, not if all of them are rolled. Doh

[@hookem3768]

Why does Conditional Probability divide by the given event, but not subtract? When you describe Conditional Probability with the Ven Diagram, my thought about subtracting event B is reinforced. It seems like I would get the same answer by subtracting.
