4. Conditional Probability and Independence
This chapter introduces many advanced laws of probability such as the total probability theorem, conditional probability and the Bayes theorem. The famous Monty Python problem is discussed and illustrated using a simulation tool in R. The concept of independence is discussed and illustrated with many examples such system reliability and randomised response methods.
