the conditional probability P(B/A) is the probability the event B occurs given that event A has occurred. Which formula can be used to determine this conditional probability?

Answer:  [tex]P(B/A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}.[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:  We know what is conditional probability. It is defined as follows -

Given any two events A and B, the conditional probability of B given A is defined as the probability of happening of event B with the condition that the event A has already occured.

Mathematically, it is written as P(B/A) and its formula is given by the quotient of the probability of the joint of events B and A to the probability of event A.

i.e,

[tex]P(B/A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}.[/tex]

This is the required formula.
