Question

when to apply total probability theorem and bayers' theorem?

Answer 1

We can use Bayes' Theorem to find the conditional probability of event A given the conditional probability of event B and the unconditional probabilities of events A and B. For example, we said that Bernie Williams is a .400 hitter with a runner in scoring position. In other words, P(B.

total probability is used when you don't know the probability of an event, but you know its occurrence under several disjoint scenarios and theprobability of each scenario.
