The correct Answer is:
To find \( P(A|B) \), we can use Bayes' theorem, which states: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A) \cdot P(A)}{P(B)} \] Given: - \( P(A) = 0.3 \) - \( P(B) = 0.6 \) - \( P(B|A) = 0.5 \) Now, we can substitute these values into the formula. ### Step 1: Substitute the known values into Bayes' theorem \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A) \cdot P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{0.5 \cdot 0.3}{0.6} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the numerator \[ 0.5 \cdot 0.3 = 0.15 \] ### Step 3: Divide the result by \( P(B) \) \[ P(A|B) = \frac{0.15}{0.6} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction \[ P(A|B) = 0.25 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ P(A|B) = 0.25 \] ---
