If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $A \subset B$ and $P(B) \ne 0$ , then which of the following is correct?
(A) $P(A|B) = \cfrac{{P(B)}}{{P(A)}}$
(B) $P(A|B) < P(A)$
(C) $P(A|B) \ge P(A)$
(D) None of these
If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $A \subset B$ and $P(B) \ne 0$ , then which of the following is correct?
(A) $P(A|B) = \cfrac{{P(B)}}{{P(A)}}$
(B) $P(A|B) < P(A)$
(C) $P(A|B) \ge P(A)$
(D) None of these
Official Solution
Option C is correct
When $A \subset B$ ,
then $A \cap B = A$
$\therefore P(A|B) = \cfrac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(B)}} = \cfrac{{P(A)}}{{P(B)}} \ge P(A)$
