Question

Given that events A and B are independent with P(A)=0.26P(A)=0.26 and P(B)=0.6P(B)=0.6, determine the value of P(B|A)P(B∣A), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Two events A and B are said to be independent if,

$P(\frac{B}{A})=P(B)$

Given that P(B) is 0.6,

$P(\frac{B}{A})=0.6$

Thus, the required probability is 0.6
