Default Re: Pages 36 & 18

[ QUOTE ]
This book is definitely not for the average poker players, but it is excellent for those who can comprehend it. I noticed an error on the top of page 18:
p(A & B & C) = (11 / 245) * (9 /48)
= 33 / 3920 (not 4020).

I have a question about equation 3.2 on page 36. I don't understand how the numerator "p(A | B) p (B)" was arrived at. Shouldn't the numerator be
p(A) p(B | A)?

The 3920 error will be in the next errata which will be posted on the website real soon now.

Both p(A)p(B|A) and p(B)p(A|B) are equal to p(A and B) and therefore to each other.
