What statements are correct? Check all that apply.The conditional probability formula is P(X │ Y) = .The conditional probabilities P(D │ N) and P(N │ D) are equal for any events D and N.The notation P(R │ S) indicates the probability of event R, given that event S has already occurred.Conditional probability applies only to independent events.Conditional probabilities can be calculated using a Venn diagram.
