When randomly selecting adults, let M denote the event of randomly selecting a male and let B denote the event of randomly selecting someone with blue eyes. What does P(M|B) represent? Is P(M|B) the same as P(B|M)? What does P(M|B) represent? O A. The probability of getting a male and getting someone with blue eyes. O B. The probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected. O C. The probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected. O D. The probability of getting a male or getting someone with blue eyes. Is P(M|B) the same as P(B|M)? O A. Yes, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected. O B. Yes, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected. Oc. No, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected. O D. No, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected.

When randomly selecting adults, let M denote the event of randomly selecting a male and let B denote the event of randomly selecting someone with blue eyes. What does P(M|B) represent? Is P(M|B) the same as P(B|M)?
What does P(M|B) represent?
A. The probability of getting a male and getting someone with blue eyes.
B. The probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected.
C. The probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected.
D. The probability of getting a male or getting someone with blue eyes.
Is P(M|B) the same as P(B|M)?
A. Yes, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected.
B. Yes, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected.
C. No, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected.
D. No, because P(B|M) represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected.
