For a conditioning event with positive probability, the formula is $P(A\mid B)=P(A\cap B)/P(B)$. On a Venn diagram, the overlap region ($A \cap B$) serves as the numerator, and the entire conditioning region ($B$) serves as the denominator.

Conditions: The conditioning event B has a positive probability ($P(B) > 0$).

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 values $P(A\cap B)=0.0225$ and $P(B)=0.5$ are described as illustrative inputs because they are hypothetical numbers chosen to demonstrate the calculation method, rather than verified population statistics. This distinction prevents learners from misinterpreting the example as factual demographic data.

Conditions: The context is a pedagogical example in a video.; The events involve alcohol dependence and gender.

The model illustrates the difference by showing that $P(+\mid D)$ (sensitivity) is fixed at $95\%$, while $P(D\mid +)$ (positive predictive value) is calculated to be only $~16.1\%$. This demonstrates that the probability of a positive test given disease is not the same as the probability of disease given a positive test, especially when prevalence is low.

Conditions: Sensitivity is $95\%$.; Calculated $P(D\mid +)$ is $~16.1\%$.; Prevalence is $1\%$.

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.

Using the assumed values from the classroom example where $A$ denotes alcohol dependence and $B$ denotes being a man, you divide the probability of the intersection $P(A\cap B)$ by the probability of the conditioning event $P(B)$. With $P(A\cap B)=0.0225$ and $P(B)=0.5$, the calculation is $0.0225/0.5=0.045$, or $4.5\%$.

Conditions: $P(A\cap B) = 0.0225$.; $P(B) = 0.5$.; These are illustrative inputs, not verified population statistics.

Conditioning on event B restricts the sample space to only the outcomes contained within B. Within this newly restricted space, the favorable outcomes for event A are located exclusively in the intersection of A and B ($A \cap B$).

Conditions: Event B has occurred.; We are calculating the conditional probability of A given B.

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., $P(A) > 0$).

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.

Swapping the events changes both the numerator and the denominator in the conditional probability formula. $P(A\mid B)$ uses $P(A \cap B)$ as the numerator and $P(B)$ as the denominator, whereas $P(B\mid A)$ uses $P(A \cap B)$ as the numerator but $P(A)$ as the denominator.

Conditions: Events A and B have different marginal probabilities ($P(A) \neq P(B)$).; Both events have positive probability.
