II. Probability and Statistics for Reliability
A. Basic concepts
2. Basic probability concepts (Apply)
Use basic probability concepts (e.g., independence, mutually exclusive, conditional probability) and compute their values.
This lesson takes a close look at a few probability laws and quickly counting approaches.

Quick Quiz
Fred:
I think there is a typo in the notation used in this video.
P(A|B) is probability of A given B = P(A intersection B)/P(B)
For independent events
P(A|B) is not P(A).P(B)
P(A intersection B)= P(A). P(B) according to multiplicative law
P(A|B)= P(A).P(B)/P(B)=P(A)
I think you are right, I’ll have to update and make the correction. thanks for letting me know. cheers, Fred
