SOLUTION: Events A and B are dependent. P(B) = 0.9, P(A and B) = 0.54. P(A|B) = Sorry for the bother, im just really struggling with probability.

Sorry for the bother, im just really struggling with probability.
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P(A and B) = P(B) * P(A | B)

0.54 = 0.9*x

0.9x = 0.54

x = 0.54/0.9

x = 0.6

So P(A|B) = 0.6
