How is Conditional Probability calculated?

Back

Conditional Probability is calculated using the formula: P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B), where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of both events A and B occurring.

If P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.5, and P(A ∩ B) = 0.2, what is P(A|B)?

Back

P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) = 0.2 / 0.5 = 0.4.
