Please explain Suppose that A and B are conditionally independent given C. Suppose that P(C) > 0 and P(C^c) > 0. (a) Are A and B^c guaranteed to be conditionally independent given C? (b) Are A and B guaranteed to be conditionally independent given C^c?

Step 1
Conditional independence means that the probability of A given B and C is equal to the probability of A given C. However, in this case, we only know that A and B are conditionally independent given C, but we do not have any information about the relationship Show more…

Find P(A ∩ C) if P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.4, P(C) = 0.2 and we know that A and B are independent, B and C are independent, and A and C are mutually exclusive.
