Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two non -null events such that \(A \subset B\). Then, which of the following statements is always correct?

  1. A \(P\left( {A|B} \right) = 1\)
  2. B \(P\left( {A|B} \right) \le P\left( A \right)\)
  3. C \(P\left( {A|B} \right) = P\left( B \right) - P\left( A \right)\)
  4. D \(P\left( {A|B} \right) \ge P\left( A \right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(P\left( {A|B} \right) \ge P\left( A \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A | B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}\) \(\text { (as }\mathrm{A} \subset \mathrm{B} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}))\) \(\Rightarrow P(A | B) \geq P(A)\)
