01In a hypothetical example, P(heart attack | over 60) = 12%. What does the bar mean?
Hint
The bar restricts the universe. Imagine zooming in to just the people for whom B is true.
02'Heads on a coin' and 'queen of hearts on a card' are independent events. What does that actually mean?

04Bayes' rule lets you do what?
