Question 327126: An event A will occur with probability 0.5. An event B will occur with probability 0.6. The probability that both events A AND b will occur is 0.1.
the conditional probability of A given B is:
a- 0.3
b- 0.2
c- 1/6
d- cannot be determined from the info given
someone please show me the way to get the right answer
thank you so much
you are all so helpful

An event A will occur with probability 0.5. An event B will occur with probability 0.6. The probability that both events A AND b will occur is 0.1.
the conditional probability of A given B is:
-----
P(A|B) = [P(A and B)]/[P(B)]
= 0.1/0.6
= 1/6
