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 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
