What is Bayes' theorem?
In maths, this is a theory of probability, where the second event is conditional on the first. The chance of picking a jack at random from a pack of cards is 4/52. If it is, the chance of getting another jack is 3/52, if not, it is 4/51. Hence the probability of this second one is dependent on the first. Bayes theorem gives the probability that given the second card is an ace, the first card is also.
