Question 2 of 25
2 points
you shoot a basketball twice.
let event a = you make the first shot.
let event b = you make the second shot.
what does p(bia) represent?
o
a. the probability that you don't make the second shot
o
b. the probability that you make either the first or the second shot
o
c. the probability that you make the second shot, given that you
make the first shot
o
d. the probability that you make the first shot, given that you make
the second shot
submit

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability of an event B is the probability that the event will occur given the knowledge that an event A has already occurred. This probability is written P(B|A),  probability of B given A.

If events A and B are independent (where event A has no effect on the probability of event B), the conditional probability of event B given event A is simply the probability of event B, that is P(B).

Here A= make the first shot

B = make the second shot

P(B/A) = probability of making second shot given that already made the first shot

Hence answer is

option C
