If two events A and B are independent and you know that P(A) = 0.75, what is the value of P(A | B)?

Step 1. P(A|B)=P(A) since A and B are independent. It doesn't matter what the event B is the probability of P(A|B) will equal P(A).

Step 2. ANSWER: P(A|B)=P(A)=0.75

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
