Select the correct answer. the probability of event a is x, and the probability of event b is y. if the two events are independent, which of these conditions must be true? a. p(b|a) = y b. p(a|b) = y c. p(b|a) = x d. p(a and b) = x + y e. p(a and b) = x p(a) y

P(A) = probability of event A, P(B) = probability of event B

P(A) = x is given to us

P(B) = y is also given

If A and B are independent, then neither event affects the other. If we know A happens, then that doesn't change the probability of B happening (vice versa).

So that means P(A|B) = P(A) = x and P(B|A) = P(B) = y

This points to the answer being P(B|A) = y which is choice A or the first answer choice

note: P(A|B) is read as "probability of A given that B has happened". It is known as conditional probability. The symbol between the A and B is not the letter i or L, it is a vertical pipe symbol to separate the letters.
