Given that events A and B are independent with P(A)=0.31P(A)=0.31 and P(B)=0.7P(B)=0.7, determine the value of P(B|A)P(B∣A), rounding to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.

I need help please.

Answer:

.7

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume you meant to write all that stuff once

The conditional probability formula is as follows : (B|A)=(A∩B)/A

We're told that the two probabliites are independent of each other which means that A∩B= A*B

Which means we have

(.31*.7)/(.31)

This should simplify to .7

*note* a shortcut you can use when finding the conditional probability of two independent probabilities you can just take the first probability (or in this case B) and that'll be your final answer
