According to the general equation for conditional probability, if P(A n B) = 3/4 and P(B) = 4/5 what is P ( A|B)?
A. 35/36
B. 15/16
C. 8/9
D. 24/25

Sagot :

Given:

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(B)=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

To find:

The [tex]P(A|B)[/tex].

Solution:

Conditional probability:

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

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{4}{5}}[/tex]

[tex]P(A|B)=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(A|B)=\dfrac{16}{16}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.
