Answer:

I believe you're asking about P(B|A).

Explanation:

So,

P(B|A) represents the probability of event B occurring after it is assumed that event A has already occurred.

P(B|A) means "Event B given Event A" . In other words, event A has already happened, now what is the chance of event B? P(B|A) is also called the "Conditional Probability" of B given A.
