The correct Answer is:
To find \( P(A|B) \), we will use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] ### Step 1: Identify the given values We are given: - \( P(B) = 0.5 \) - \( P(A \cap B) = 0.32 \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Now we substitute the values into the formula: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{0.32}{0.5} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fraction To simplify \( \frac{0.32}{0.5} \), we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0.32 \times 10}{0.5 \times 10} = \frac{3.2}{5} \] ### Step 4: Further simplify the fraction Next, we can convert \( \frac{3.2}{5} \) into a fraction: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{32}{50} \] ### Step 5: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form Now, we can reduce \( \frac{32}{50} \): \[ P(A|B) = \frac{32 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \frac{16}{25} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{16}{25} \] ---
