Explanation

If the event B occurs does not change the probability that event A occurs, and event A and B are the independent event then

⇒ P(A I B) = P(A)

According to bayes’s theorem It states the relation between the probabilities of A and B, P(A) and P(B) and the conditional probabilities of A gives B and B gives A.

⇒ P(A I B) and P(B I A)

⇒ P(A I B) = P(B I A).P(A)/P(B)

⇒ P(B I A) = P(A ∩ B)/P(A)

⇒ P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B)

⇒ P(A I B) = P(A ∩ B).P(A)/P(A). P(B)

⇒ P(A I B) = P(A). P(B).P(A)/P(A).P(B)

⇒ P(A I B) = P(A)

∴ The value of P(A I B) is P(A)
