Demystifying - Conditional probability from a Venn diagram

Drills

Dividing the overlap by the region in the condition, not the whole diagram.

Author note — to cover (Higher)

Conditional probability from a completed two-set Venn diagram: the overlap count divided by the total of the conditioning set's regions, not the whole diagram; include conditions on the complement using the outside region. Higher tier only. Drawing and notation are both-tier pages on the Diagrams topic; three-set formal laws are A level. (P9)
