Since J and K are independent events, this means that P(J | K) = P(J).
note: that is a vertical bar, not the uppercase letter 'i'
So, P(J) = 0.68 as well.
The fact that event K happens does not alter or change the probability for event J.
This is what it means to have independent events.
The two events are free to do their own thing, so to speak.
