Noun

1. The [[probability]] that an [[event]] will take place given the restrictive assumption that another event has taken place, or that a combination of other events has taken place. (Mathematically, the definition would be that the '''conditional probability''' of ''B'' given ''A'' is equal to the joint probability of ''A'' and ''B'' divided by the probability of ''A''.)
