Hi,

I am teaching a machine learning course and the students have very poor knowledge about conditional probability, Bayes rule etc. Most students have done their undergraduates years ago and I guess their educational background has not been that good. Last lecture was on Naive Bayes classification method and some students were complaining that they understand almost nothing!

Could you please suggest some "really easy" text on conditional probabilities, Bayes rule etc.

Thanks.
