Step 1
Probability is a branch of mathematics which is basically deals with the chances of happening an event. The value of probability always lies between 0 and 1.
Probability of occurrence of an event with the relationship of other events is termed as conditional probability.
Step 2
If A and B are 2 independent events, then their probability of intersection is the product of probabilities of these events. That is,
P(AB)=P(A)P(B)
The formula for conditional probability of 2 events are given below.
P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)
When A and B are independent, the conditional probability is given below.
P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)
=P(A)P(B)P(B)
=P(A)
Thus option c P(A) is the correct answer.
