To prove:The events A and B are independent events.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The probability of an event A is equal to probability of same event, provided that event B has already occurred.
Formula used:
Given an event B , the conditional probability of event A is
Proof:
Consider the provided information that probability of an event A is equal to probability of same event, provided that event B has already occurred.
Probability of an event Eis
Consider two events A and Bsuch that they are independent events. Then
Given an event B , the conditional probability of event A is
According to question
Therefore,
That is events A and B are independent events.
Hence, it is proved that if probability of an event A is equal to probability of same event, provided that event B has already occurred then A and B are independent events
