When an event's probability depends on the likelihood of another event, the probability is a(n) ___________.
A) Conditional probability
B) Empirical probability
C) Joint probability
D)
Mutually exclusive probability
It is a conditional probability, expressed as P(B | A), or the probability of B givenA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the probability of one event is dependent on another event, it is called conditional probability. Hence, option A is the correct answer. Empirical probability is based on observations or experiments, Joint probability is the probability of two or more events happening together, and mutually exclusive probability is the probability of events that cannot both happen simultaneously. These options are not relevant to the given scenario.
