Pr
(h) ≥ 0
If e deductively implies h, then Pr(h|e) = 1.
(disjunction rule) If h and g are mutually exclusive, then Pr(h or g) = Pr(h) + Pr(g)
(disjunction rule) If h and g are mutually exclusive, then Pr(h or g) = Pr(h) + Pr(g).
h and g can’t both be true at the same time.
(conditional probability) Pr(h|g) = Pr(h&g)/Pr(g)

Independent: the occurrence of one doesn’t affect the probability of the other.Pr(g) = Pr(g|h)
7. (conjunction rule) If h and g are independent, then Pr(h&g) = Pr(h) x Pr(g).

not
have breast cancer, the probability is 7% that she will still have a positive mammogram. x has a positive mammogram. What is the probability that
x has breast cancer?
