In [[probability theory]], '''conditional probability''' is the [[probability]] that some [[Probability/Event|event]] ''A'' occurs, knowing that event ''B'' occurs.

Line 10:

If ''B'' is an event and ''P''(''B'') > 0, then the function ''Q'' defined by ''Q''(''A'') = ''P''(''A''|''B'') for all events ''A'' is a [[probability measure]].

Conditional probability is more easily calculated with an [[desicion tree]].
