I guess that this kind of question gets asked (and answered) a lot. But I've tried to read a few posts here about Bayes' Theorem and they seem to talk about slightly different things than the question that is bothering me. Maybe I should've read a few more, but since I'm also interested in how people use this theorem in their everyday life, I've decided to ask the question anyway.

If D, E and F are mutually-exclusive events with non-zero probabilities d, e and f respectively, then dd+e=dd+f×(d+f)d+e.
Which is true because that's how real numbers work. To translate this theorem into more familiar... (read 799 more words →)
