Solution

The conditional probability of event A given event B is denoted as P(A|B) and is calculated as:

P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

where:

  • P(A ∩ B) is the probability of both events A and B occurring
  • P(B) is the probability of event B

In this case:

  • P(A ∩ B) = 0.2
  • P(B) = 0.6

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

P(A|B) = 0.2 / 0.6 = 0.3333 when rounded to four decimal places.

So, the conditional probability of event A given event B is 0.3333.
