Law of Total Probability
The Law of Total Probability helps us find the likelihood of an event by considering all the different ways it can happen. Imagine a situation where an event depends on various scenarios or conditions. This law tells us to look at each scenario’s probability and how likely the event is within that scenario, then add these up. It’s a way to break down complex probabilities into simpler parts, ensuring we account for all possible paths leading to the event. Essentially, it helps us calculate the overall chance by combining the probabilities of related cases.
