If A and B are events, and P(A|B) = P(A) , then A and B are correlated events. A is greater than B. B is greater than A. A is equal to B. A and B are independent.

Step 1
Step 2: Recall the definition of conditional probability. The conditional probability of event A given event B is defined as: $P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$, provided $P(B) > 0$. Step 3: Substitute the given condition into the conditional probability Show more…

A and B are two events. Let P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.9, and P(A and B) = 0.15. Which statement is true? A and B are independent events because P(A|B) = P(B) and P(B|A) = P(A). A and B are not independent events because P(A|B) = P(A) and P(B|A) = P(B). A and B are not independent events because P(A|B) ≠ P(A). A and B are not independent events because P(A|B) = P(B) and P(B|A) = P(A).

Suppose that for two particular events A and B, is it true that P(B|A) = P(B). What does this imply about the two events?
