Conditional Probability Flashcards: Two-Way Table Practice
Practice conditional probability with 44 original cards: choose the given group, calculate table ratios, reverse conditions, and repair denominator mistakes.
Om denne bunke
Practice conditional probability with 44 original English flashcards built around small invented count tables. Each card asks for one result: a given group, an exact probability fraction, a needed count, a corrected setup, or a short interpretation. Row-given and column-given questions, a few reversed conditions, conditional complements, and joint and marginal contrasts make denominator choices visible. Exact group rates support short count reconstruction and one reverse-condition calculation. Limit cards address empty groups, zero overlaps, missing information, unequal selection weights, rounded rates, and causal claims.
The opening four cards establish notation, overlap, the count-ratio rule, and complete table categories. The remaining sequence mixes calculations, interpretations, count reconstruction, and error repair, introducing more demanding rates and limits later. Repeated-table variants are separated by at least three cards on other tasks; the review scheduler handles long-term spacing. Every prompt includes its own needed givens. Count-to-probability exercises state uniform item selection.
This is a compact recall and error-repair companion for high-school and introductory statistics learners. It excludes a broad Bayes theorem formula curriculum, continuous distributions, inference tests, independence proof drills, medical diagnosis, full course or exam coverage, full worksheet construction, and every forward/reverse permutation. These would require other practice formats or a wider scope. Recalling these fixed examples does not establish mastery of unfamiliar probability problems. Learn the method with conditional probability two-way table practice, then solve fresh problems with different counts. The statistics flashcard study guide gives broader review-planning context.
The prompts, invented counts, explanations, sequence, metadata, and original cover were independently created with AI assistance and reviewed for factual and arithmetic accuracy. Mathematical rules were checked against Penn State’s conditional probability lessons and the University of Minnesota’s two-way-table reference; no source exercises, wording, tables, figures, or exam material were copied. Original elements are released under CC0 1.0 to the extent applicable rights exist; third-party expression is excluded. This general topic deck claims no official examination alignment, affiliation, or endorsement.

Kort 1
Spørgsmål
In P(A | B), which event is the given condition?
Svar
B. Restrict attention to outcomes in B; A is the event whose probability is requested.
Kort 2
Spørgsmål
When one item is selected uniformly from a finite collection, what count ratio gives P(A | B)?
Svar
Count in both A and B / count in B, provided the B count is positive. In probability notation, P(A | B) = P(A and B) / P(B), with P(B) > 0.
Kort 3
Spørgsmål
What does the event “A and B” include?
Svar
Only outcomes that satisfy both A and B. It is their overlap, also written A ∩ B; it need not include every outcome in B.
Kort 4
Spørgsmål
For a complete two-way count table, how many cells should each item contribute to?
Svar
One cell. Each variable’s categories must be mutually exclusive and exhaustive, so no item is duplicated or omitted.
Kort 5
Spørgsmål
Choose one token uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Dot No dot Blue 6 9 Not blue 4 11What is P(dot | blue)?
Svar
2/5. The blue group has 6 + 9 = 15 tokens; 6 have dots. Use 6/15 = 2/5.
Kort 6
Spørgsmål
Choose one ticket uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Stamp No stamp Striped 9 6 Plain 3 12What is P(striped | stamped)?
Svar
3/4. There are 9 + 3 = 12 stamped tickets; 9 are striped. Use 9/12 = 3/4.
Kort 7
Spørgsmål
Choose one paper flower uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Folded Unfolded Red 5 7 Not red 10 8A learner writes P(folded | red) = 5/15. What denominator should replace 15?
Svar
12. The condition is red, so use the red row total, 5 + 7. The 15 counts folded flowers instead.
Kort 8
Spørgsmål
A complete batch has 40 silver and 20 non-silver badges. Exactly 3/5 of the silver badges are numbered; all other silver badges are unnumbered. How many badges are both silver and numbered?
Svar
24 badges. Apply the within-silver rate to the silver total: (3/5) × 40 = 24.
Kort 9
Spørgsmål
Choose one book uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Borrowed On shelf Hardback 8 10 Paperback 15 7What is P(borrowed | hardback)?
Svar
4/9. The hardback group contains 8 + 10 = 18 books; 8 are borrowed. Use 8/18 = 4/9.
Kort 10
Spørgsmål
In a complete registration list, P(completed | online) = 3/4 under uniform selection. What does 3/4 describe in context?
Svar
Three quarters of the online registrations are completed. The fraction describes the online group, not all registrations or the group of completed registrations.

Tagged Untagged New 4 6 Old 8 12A learner calls 4/10 the probability of “new and tagged.” What fraction answers that joint-probability question?
Svar
2/15. “New and tagged” means 4 folders out of all 30: 4/30 = 2/15. The 4/10 ratio conditions on new.
Kort 14
Spørgsmål
Choose one bead uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Holed Solid Green 0 8 Not green 5 7What is P(holed | green)?
Svar
0. The green group is nonempty: 0 + 8 = 8. No green bead is holed, so the ratio is 0/8 = 0.
Kort 15
Spørgsmål
Choose one cup uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Handle No handle Blue 9 6 Not blue 3 12What is P(no handle | blue)?
Svar
2/5. Of the 15 blue cups, 6 have no handle. Use 6/15 = 2/5; the condition stays blue.
Kort 16
Spørgsmål
In a complete collection of envelopes, 18 are both small and sealed. Exactly 3/4 of all small envelopes are sealed. How many small envelopes are there?
Svar
24 envelopes. If n is the small-group total, (3/4) × n = 18, so n = 18 ÷ (3/4) = 24.

Sealed Open Small 6 9 Large 10 5A learner writes P(small) = 6/16. What fraction gives P(small), with no condition?
Svar
1/2. All 15 small parcels count, out of 30 total: 15/30 = 1/2. The 6/16 ratio is P(small | sealed).
Kort 25
Spørgsmål
Choose one order uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Printed Unprinted Early 11 4 Not early 7 8What is P(printed | not early)?
Svar
7/15. The not-early row has 7 + 8 = 15 orders; 7 are printed.
Kort 26
Spørgsmål
A complete collection has 80 cards. Exactly 3/8 of all cards are both blue and dotted. How many cards are both blue and dotted?
Svar
30 cards. The rate uses the whole collection: (3/8) × 80 = 30.
Kort 27
Spørgsmål
For uniform selection from a complete pin collection, P(round | gold) = 1/4. A learner labels 3/4 as P(round | not gold). Which conditional probability does 3/4 actually give?
Svar
P(not round | gold). Take the complement of the requested event while keeping the condition gold: 1 − 1/4 = 3/4. The non-gold group can have a different rate.
Kort 28
Spørgsmål
In a nonempty red-tag group, exactly 2/3 are square. No other counts or rates are supplied. Can you determine the fraction of square tags that are red?
Svar
No. You need the count that is both red and square and the total square count, or equivalent proportions. The within-red rate alone does not determine the reverse condition.
Kort 29
Spørgsmål
Choose one notebook uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Lined Blank Small 2 6 Medium 5 3 Large 3 1What is P(medium | lined)?
Svar
1/2. The lined column contains 2 + 5 + 3 = 10 notebooks; 5 are medium. Use 5/10.
Kort 30
Spørgsmål
Uniform selection from a complete list of 50 workshop attendees gives P(brings pen | morning session) = 4/5. To which population does this result directly apply?
Svar
The morning-session attendees in that 50-person list. This fraction alone does not establish the rate for attendees at other workshops.
Kort 31
Spørgsmål
Choose one tile uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Dot No dot Blue 5 7 Not blue 4 8What is P(dot), without a given color?
Svar
3/8. There are 5 + 4 = 9 dotted tiles among 24 total. Use 9/24 = 3/8.
Kort 32
Spørgsmål
For uniform selection from a collection of tags, P(square | red) = 2/5. A learner says, “Two fifths of the square tags are red.” What group should replace “square tags”?
Svar
The red tags. The result says two fifths of red tags are square. It does not give P(red | square).
Kort 33
Spørgsmål
Choose one ribbon uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Dot No dot Red 4 6 Blue 2 3 Yellow 6 9A learner uses 4/(4 + 2) for P(red | dot). What fraction corrects the missing category?
Svar
1/3. Include every dotted ribbon: 4 + 2 + 6 = 12. Use 4/12 = 1/3.
Kort 34
Spørgsmål
A complete tray has 10 red and 10 non-red pieces. The selector is more likely to choose each red piece than each non-red piece. Can counts alone justify P(red) = 10/20?
Svar
No. The count ratio needs uniform item selection. With unequal selection probabilities, use the pieces’ selection weights; equal counts do not imply equal chances.
Kort 35
Spørgsmål
Choose one basket uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Lid No lid Round 4 10 Not round 9 5What is P(no lid | round)?
Svar
5/7. The round row contains 4 + 10 = 14 baskets; 10 have no lid. Use 10/14 = 5/7.
Kort 36
Spørgsmål
Under uniform selection from a complete collection of items, P(sealed | blue) = 3/5 and P(blue | sealed) = 1/2. Which group does the 1/2 rate describe?
Svar
The sealed items. Half of that group is blue; the 3/5 rate instead describes the blue group.
Kort 37
Spørgsmål
A complete list contains only morning (20) and afternoon (50) entries. Exactly 10 in each group are checked; the rest are unchecked. A learner says the checked fractions are equal because both counts are 10. Which group has the larger checked fraction?
Svar
The morning group. Its fraction is 10/20 = 1/2, while the afternoon fraction is 10/50 = 1/5. Compare within-group rates, not raw counts.
Kort 38
Spørgsmål
A complete collection has 25 red and 15 non-red tokens. Exactly 18 tokens have dots, including 8 red tokens. Every other token has no dot. How many non-red tokens have dots?
Svar
10 tokens. The dotted column splits into red and non-red: 18 − 8 = 10.
Kort 39
Spørgsmål
Choose one entry uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Checked Unchecked Bus 6 4 Walk 3 7 Cycle 9 1What is P(not bus | checked)?
Svar
2/3. The checked group contains 6 + 3 + 9 = 18 entries. The walk and cycle entries give 3 + 9 = 12 non-bus entries, so use 12/18 = 2/3.
Kort 40
Spørgsmål
In an observational club list, 4/5 of members who attend a workshop finish a project, versus 2/5 of those who do not attend. Does this comparison alone prove that workshop attendance causes project completion?
Svar
No. The conditional rates describe an association in that list. Other differences between the groups can explain it; the comparison alone does not establish causation.
Kort 41
Spørgsmål
Choose one bookmark uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Folded Flat Orange 7 5 Not orange 3 9What is P(orange and folded)?
Svar
7/24. The joint event contains 7 bookmarks out of all 24. Neither a row nor a column is specified as a given condition.
Kort 42
Spørgsmål
Choose one card uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Star No star Blue 8 6 Not blue 5 11What count belongs in the denominator of P(blue | star)?
Svar
13. The given group is the star column: 8 + 5 = 13 cards.
Kort 43
Spørgsmål
A complete group has 300 items. Its marked percentage is reported as 33%, rounded to the nearest whole percent. Must exactly 99 items be marked?
Svar
No. A rounded rate does not fix an exact count. Both 98/300 ≈ 32.67% and 99/300 = 33% round to 33%.
Kort 44
Spørgsmål
Choose one chip uniformly from this complete table. Each item appears once.
Marked Unmarked Red 3 5 Not red 4 8A learner writes P(marked | red) = 8/3. What fraction corrects the inverted ratio?
Svar
3/8. There are 3 marked red chips out of 3 + 5 = 8 red chips. A conditional probability cannot exceed 1.
