Question

when an events probability depends on the likelihood of another event, the probability is

a. conditional probability.

b. empirical probability.

c. mutually exclusive probability.

d. joint probability.

Explanation:

• Conditional probability is defined as the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred, meaning its likelihood depends on another event.
• Empirical probability is based on observed data from experiments.
• Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time, and there is no such formal term as "mutually exclusive probability".
• Joint probability is the probability of two events happening simultaneously.

Answer:

a. conditional probability.
