Probability

Now I'm studying probability and I'm getting stuck in learning topics like conditional probability, dependent and independent events so how would I understand those concepts in practical sense? Please explain with an example.

Re: Probability

Probability is one of those things where it is very easy to convince yourself of something which is not true. I strongly suggest working out every step with full rigor.

Please explain with an example.

If you have a specific thing that you'd require clarification on, please post that.

By the way, I received your message on keybase. And I sent a reply.
