The Dependence Structure of Conditional Probabilities in a Contingency Table

Joarder, Anwar H.; Al-Sabah, Walid S.

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v33 n3 p475-480 Jan 2002

Conditional probability and statistical independence can be better explained with contingency tables. In this note some special cases of 2 x 2 contingency tables are considered. In turn an interesting insight into statistical dependence as well as independence of events is obtained.
