Wait, how can A be 60% and B be 50% with a joint of only 32%?

I’m confused about the numbers; I thought the conditional probability would be lower than the individual probabilities.

If the joint probability is 32% and P(B) is 50%, then I guess P(A|B) should be around 64% based on my calculations.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like I practiced a similar question where we had to find conditional probabilities.

I think I remember that the conditional probability can be calculated using the formula P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B).

Okay, I'm feeling more confident now. I'll start by calculating the joint probability of A and B, then use that to find the conditional probability of A given B.

Hmm, this looks like a classic conditional probability problem. I'll need to use the formula P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B) to solve this.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We have the joint probability of A and B, and the individual probabilities of A and B. We need to find the conditional probability of A given B.
