The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the condition given: \( P(A|B) = P(B|A) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - The conditional probability \( P(A|B) \) is defined as: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] - Similarly, the conditional probability \( P(B|A) \) is defined as: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] 2. **Set Up the Equation**: - Given \( P(A|B) = P(B|A) \), we can substitute the definitions: \[ \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] 3. **Cross Multiply**: - Cross multiplying gives us: \[ P(A \cap B) \cdot P(A) = P(A \cap B) \cdot P(B) \] 4. **Assume \( P(A \cap B) \neq 0 \)**: - If \( P(A \cap B) \neq 0 \), we can divide both sides by \( P(A \cap B) \): \[ P(A) = P(B) \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if \( P(A|B) = P(B|A) \), it implies that: \[ P(A) = P(B) \] ### Final Result: The relationship that holds true is: \[ P(A) = P(B) \]
