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 the other event.
• Empirical probability is based on observed data/frequency.
• Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time, which is not related to dependent likelihood.
• Joint probability is the probability of two events occurring together, not dependent probability.

Answer:

a. conditional probability.
