Answer:

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

Explanation:

Question

If a and b are independent events then it must be true that P(A|B)=P(A). TRUE OR FALSE.

Answer

The correct answer is:True.Explanation:P(A|B) is read as “the probability of A given B.” If A and B are independent, this means that B has no effect on A. This means the probability of A given B would be the same as the probability of A, since B has no effect.This means that P(A|B) = P(A).
