Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the occurrence of an earlier event. The second event is dependent on the first event.

1) Define conditional probability and distinguish it from joint probability. 2) Find a conditional probability using its definition. 3) Using conditional probability, determine whether two events are ...

Using a tree diagram is simple once you assign the appropriate values to each node. Chance nodes, representing a possible outcome, must be assigned a probability.

Abstract We elaborate on an alternative representation of conditional probability to the usual tree diagram. We term the representation “turtleback diagram” for its resemblance to the pattern on ...

We study the effects of species tree topology and branch lengths on the monophyly probability. These analyses reveal new behavior, including the maintenance of nontrivial monophyly probabilities for ...
