Re: conditional probability

If the only information I know is that P(A), P(B), P(C), P(A and B), P(A and C) and P(B and C), (A, B and C are not independent) is there a way to
compute P(A and B and C)?


No. You need seven parameters to specify the probabilities of all the atoms (i.e., there are seven degrees of freedom), yet you give only six parameters above. You should be able to determine bounds on P(ABC).

Why is your subject, "conditional probability"?
