The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the events A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - We know that \( P(A) \neq 0 \). This means that event A has a non-zero probability of occurring. - We are also given that \( P(B|A) = 1 \). This indicates that if event A occurs, then event B definitely occurs. 2. **Using the Definition of Conditional Probability**: - The conditional probability \( P(B|A) \) is defined as: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] - Since \( P(B|A) = 1 \), we can set up the equation: \[ 1 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: - From the equation above, we can multiply both sides by \( P(A) \) (which is non-zero): \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \] 4. **Interpreting the Result**: - The equation \( P(A \cap B) = P(A) \) tells us that the probability of both A and B occurring is equal to the probability of A occurring. This implies that whenever A occurs, B must also occur. - Therefore, we can conclude that event A is a subset of event B, denoted as: \[ A \subseteq B \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Since A is a subset of B, we can say that if A occurs, B will definitely occur, which is consistent with the given information \( P(B|A) = 1 \). ### Final Answer: Thus, the relationship between events A and B is: \[ A \subseteq B \]
