Abstract

This is the second part of an introduction to probability calculation and covers basic concepts such as conditional and simple probabilities and independent events and also a definition of two fundamental laws, those of addition and multiplication, which permit a correct combination of probabilities. Explanation of probability concepts and ideas is illustrated with the aid of examples from the field of screening tests. Bayes theorem is derived by applying the addition and multiplication laws to conditional and simple probabilities.
