The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find \( P(B|A) \) given that \( A \subseteq B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definition of Conditional Probability**: The conditional probability \( P(B|A) \) is defined as: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} \] 2. **Identifying \( A \cap B \)**: Since \( A \) is a subset of \( B \) (i.e., \( A \subseteq B \)), the intersection of \( A \) and \( B \) is simply \( A \): \[ A \cap B = A \] 3. **Substituting into the Conditional Probability Formula**: Now we can substitute \( A \cap B \) with \( A \) in the conditional probability formula: \[ P(B|A) = \frac{P(A)}{P(A)} \] 4. **Simplifying the Expression**: Since \( P(A) \) is not zero, we can simplify this to: \[ P(B|A) = 1 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, \( P(B|A) = 1 \). ---
