Lesson 4.5: Conditional Probability

Question 2 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 Sem 2 - Flex

If events A and B are independent, what must be true?

Answer

P(A|B) = P(B)

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(A) = P(B)

P(A|B) = P(B|A)

For independent events, knowing that B occurred does not change the probability of A. Thus P(A|B) = P(A), so the correct choice is “P(A|B) = P(A).”
