Question

complete the following statement. the conditional probability of b given a can be found by _____. choose the correct answer below. a. assuming that event a has occurred, and then calculating the probability that event b will occur b. assuming that event b has occurred, and then calculating the probability that event a will occur c. multiplying p(a) times p(b) d. adding p(a) and p(b)

Explanation:

The conditional probability of B given A, denoted as P(B|A), is the probability of event B occurring given that event A has already occurred. We focus on the subset of outcomes where A has happened and calculate the likelihood of B within that subset.

Answer:

A. assuming that event A has occurred, and then calculating the probability that event B will occur
