The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the relationship between the events C and D, given that C is a subset of D (C ⊆ D) and that the probability of D is not equal to zero (P(D) ≠ 0). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: Since C is a subset of D, this means that every outcome in event C is also in event D. Therefore, the intersection of C and D is just C itself: \[ C \cap D = C \] 2. **Using the Definition of Conditional Probability**: The conditional probability of C given D, denoted as P(C|D), is defined as: \[ P(C|D) = \frac{P(C \cap D)}{P(D)} \] 3. **Substituting the Intersection**: From step 1, we know that \(P(C \cap D) = P(C)\). Thus, we can substitute this into the conditional probability formula: \[ P(C|D) = \frac{P(C)}{P(D)} \] 4. **Analyzing the Probability of D**: Given that P(D) is not equal to zero and is less than or equal to 1 (0 < P(D) ≤ 1), we can deduce the following: - Since P(D) is a positive number less than or equal to 1, dividing P(C) by P(D) will yield a value that is greater than or equal to P(C) because: \[ P(C|D) = \frac{P(C)}{P(D)} \geq P(C) \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, we conclude that: \[ P(C|D) \geq P(C) \] This leads us to identify that option C is the correct statement. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **Option C: P(C|D) is greater than or equal to P(C)**. ---
