According to the general equation for conditional probability, if P(AB) = and P(B) = 2, what is P(A/B)? 12 O A. 3/ О в. 4 O c. 2/ C. 5 O D. 9

Respuesta :

Using conditional probability, it is found that:

[tex]P(A|B^\prime) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

What is Conditional Probability?

Conditional probability is the probability of one event happening, considering a previous event. The formula is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which:

  • P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
  • [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
  • P(A) is the probability of A happening.

For this problem, we are given that:

  • [tex]P(B^\prime) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex].
  • [tex]P(A \cap B^\prime) = \frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(A|B^\prime) = \frac{P(A \cap B^\prime)}{P(B^\prime)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A|B^\prime) = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]P(A|B^\prime) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
