Alternate Bayes' Theorem Equation
Bayes' Theorem can also be used as the following :
The way to think about this is that given two events A and B, the probability that A happens, given B occurs, is the probability of their intersection occuring i.e. both events occuring, over the probability that B occurs. The easiest way to see why this works is for Independent events. If A and B are independent, the probability that they both occur is the product of their individual probabilities. Which then simplifies the above equation to : Which makes sense since the events are independent.
