Stephen Davies, Ph.D. Version 2.2.2 Through Discrete Mathematics A Cool Brisk Walk / Chapter 1
"Chad})=.3, and Pr({Ben, Tim})=.4, and Pr({Grover})=.4. Could you tell me the probability that Ben wins the heat? Yes. If Pr({Ben, Chad})=.3 and Pr({Grover})=.4, that leaves .3 probability left over for Tim. And if Pr({Ben, Tim})=.4, this implies that Pr({Ben})=.1."
