The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( P(A | B) \), we can use the formula for conditional probability: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - \( P(A) = 0.8 \) - \( P(B) = 0.6 \) - \( P(A \cap B) = 0.5 \) 2. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** - We need to calculate \( P(A | B) \): \[ P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{0.5}{0.6} \] 3. **Simplify the Fraction:** - To simplify \( \frac{0.5}{0.6} \), we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{5}{6} \] 4. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the value of \( P(A | B) \) is: \[ P(A | B) = \frac{5}{6} \] ### Conclusion: The answer is \( \frac{5}{6} \).
