Deriving Bayes’ Theorem: How Joint Probability Symmetry Reveals Conditional Reversal

The article walks through a simple two‑box, four‑ball example to illustrate basic probability, conditional probability, joint probability, and then reverses the conditioning to derive Bayes’ theorem, showing each step with concrete calculations and visual partitions of the sample space.
