In probability theory and statistics, Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule; recently Bayes-Price theorem: 44, 45, 46 and 67 ), named after Thomas Bayes, describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. For example, if the risk of developing health problems is known to increase with age, Bayes' theorem allows ... a) Using Bayes' Theorem, we know that the probability of both groups striking is equal to P(pilots strike | conductors strike) * P(conductors strike) = 0.9 * 0.65 = 0.585 b) Using Bayes' Theorem again, we know that P(conductors strike | pilots strike) = P(conductors strike AND pilots strike)/P(pilots strike) = 0.585/0.75 = 0.78 Bayes theorem using Venn diagrams: A Beginner-friendly approach — When I started learning/ revising my probability lessons from high school, this is how I visualized and understood it.
