Question

Suppose that E and F are two events and that P(E and F) = 0.6 and P(E)=0.8. What is P(F | E)?P(F | E)= (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Answer 1

Given

P(E and F) = 0.6

P(E) = 0.8

Then, you need to know the formula for conditional probability, which is:

`P(F|E)=(P(EandF))/(P(E))`

Substitute the values:

`P(F|E)=(0.6)/(0.8)=(3)/(4)=0.75`

Answer:

`P(F|E)=0.75`
