Joint probability

The probability that two things are both true, such as having a condition and testing positive.

A joint probability asks about two things at once: P(cancer and positive) counts the solid rose squares out of everyone, 347 / 10,000 = 3.47%.
From Probability and Bayes, step “Joint and conditional probability”
