An interactive visualization showing how a woman's carrier probability updates as she has successive unaffected children. A slider controls the number of unaffected children (0–10). The display shows a probability bar that starts at 2/3 and decreases with each unaffected child, alongside the Bayesian calculation at each step. The prior, likelihood, and posterior are labeled clearly.
