If A and B are independent events with P(A)= 0.60 and P(A |B)= 0.60,then P(B)is:
A)1.20
B)0.60
C)0.36
D)Cannot be determined from the information given.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since A and B are independent, the probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, which is given as 0.60. However, the probability of B cannot be directly determined from the information given about the probability of A and the conditional probability P(A|B) alone, without additional information about the relationship between A and B beyond their independence.
