The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditional probability \( P(A|B) \). The formula for conditional probability is given by: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Where: - \( P(A|B) \) is the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred. - \( P(A \cap B) \) is the probability of both events A and B occurring. - \( P(B) \) is the probability of event B occurring. Given: - \( P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(B) = 0 \) Now, we can substitute these values into the formula. ### Step 1: Identify the values We have: - \( P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(B) = 0 \) ### Step 2: Calculate \( P(A|B) \) Using the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] Since \( P(B) = 0 \), we can see that the denominator of our fraction is zero. ### Step 3: Determine the result Since division by zero is undefined in mathematics, we conclude that: \[ P(A|B) \text{ is not defined} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the answer is that \( P(A|B) \) is **not defined**. ---
