Bayes’ Theorem Definitions:
The vertical bar | stands for "given that".
P = Probability.
A & B are events.
P(A) & P(B) are the probabilities of events A and B. Each event is separate from the other.
P(A|B) is the probability of A being true given that event B is true.

Example:
Say we have 2 coolers at an owambe: Cooler A is filled with 10packs of small chops only. Cooler B has 5packs of small chops and 5packs of Asun. You are then asked to close your eyes and pick a pack out of one cooler, which pack would you pick? #MachineLearning #SoDS18
Because you know that we have more of small chops in both coolers, your brain is most likely going to tell you have picked a pack of small chops - even when your eyes are closed. This is not wrong.

Meet Claire Davis who I am dedicating my #Research to as well as her family.
Prior to 2013, the @DPSNewsNow had numerous problems with student discipline and suspensions. This is, now, a familiar, theme to what we’ve heard at #Broward and their issues. Enter #Obama #EricHolder and the #SchooltoPrisonPipelineProgram b.3cdn.net/advancement/ad… (check dates)
