Actual exam question for Databricks's Databricks-Certified-Professional-Data-Scientist exam

Topic #: 2

[All Databricks-Certified-Professional-Data-Scientist Questions]

Suppose there are three events then which formula must always be equal to P(E1|E2,E3)?

AP(E1,E2,E3)P(E1)/P(E2:E3)

BP(E1,E2;E3)/P(E2,E3)

CP(E1,E2|E3)P(E2|E3)P(E3)

DP(E1,E2|E3)P(E3)

EP(E1,E2,E3)P(E2)P(E3)
This is an application of conditional probability: P(E1,E2)=P(E1|E2)P(E2). so
P(E1|E2) = P(E1.E2)/P(E2)
P(E1,E2,E3)/P(E2,E3)
If the events are A and B respectively, this is said to be 'the probability of A given B'
It is commonly denoted by P(A|B): or sometimes PB(A). In case that both 'A' and 'B' are categorical variables, conditional probability table is typically used to represent the conditional probability.

Actually, the correct formula is C) P(E1,E2|E3)P(E2|E3)P(E3) because it aligns with the concept of conditional probability.

Ah, good old conditional probability. You can't go wrong with B - it's the classic formula we all know and love.

No way, it's definitely B) P(E1,E2;E3)/P(E2,E3)

Hmm, B seems like the right pick. Conditional probability is all about splitting up the joint probability, and that's exactly what B does.

B is definitely the way to go here. The question is asking for the formula that must always be equal to P(E1|E2,E3), and B is the only one that matches that.
