Bayes' theorem is true because the joint probability of two events can be decomposed in two symmetric ways. The probability that both A and B occur is equal to the probability of A multiplied by the conditional probability of B given A, and also equal to the probability of B multiplied by the conditional probability of A given B.

Conditions: A and B are events in the same probability space.; Both A and B have positive probability for the ordinary conditionals used here.

Starting from the equality $P(A)P$(B|A) = $P(B)P$(A|B), you can solve for either conditional probability by dividing by the corresponding marginal probability. Dividing both sides by $P(B)$ isolates P(A|B), giving P(A|B) = $P(A)P$(B|A)/P(B).

Conditions: Both A and B have positive probability for the ordinary conditionals used here.; The algebraic rearrangement requires the denominators $P(B)$ and $P(A)$ to be nonzero.

The event 'A and B' is logically identical to 'B and A', so any valid decomposition of its probability must agree. This symmetry forces the equality of the two product formulas: $P(A)P$(B|A) = $P(B)P$(A|B).

Conditions: The argument uses commutativity of logical conjunction for events.; Both A and B have positive probability for the ordinary conditionals used here.

In the square diagrams, the braces represent proportions of areas. $P(A)$ is the fraction of the total sample space where event A occurs (a vertical strip).

Conditions: The visualization assumes probabilities can be represented by relative areas.; Both A and B have positive probability for the ordinary conditionals used here.

Substitute the given numerical values into the rearranged formula P(B|A) = $P(B)P$(A|B)/P(A). For example, if $P(B) = 1/21$, P(A|B) = $4/10$, and $P(A) = 24/210$, the calculation is ($1/21 * 4/10$) / ($24/210$).

Conditions: The formula used is the rearranged Bayes identity for P(B|A).; The given probabilities must be consistent with the formula's assumptions (e.g., $P(A) > 0$).
