We investigated the effects of probability on visual search. Previous work has shown that people can utilize spatial and sequential probability information to improve target detection. We hypothesized ...

The probability that a tennis player wins the first set of a match is \(\frac{3}{5}\). If she wins the first set, the probability that she wins the second set is \(\frac{9}{10}\). If she loses the ...

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 turtle shells.

Conditional probability occurs when it is given that something has happened. (Hint: look for the word “given” in the question. The probability that a tennis player wins the first set of a match is ...

Bank exams typically feature questions on simple probability, conditional probability, combinations and permutations, events (independent and dependent), Bayes’ theorem, and sometimes more complex ...
