Question

If $P(A|B) > P(A)$ , then which of the following is correct:

(A) $P(B|A) < P(B)$

(B) $P(A \cap B) < P(A) \cdot P(B)$

(C) $P(B|A) > P(B)$

(D) $P(B|A) = P(B)$

Step-by-step Solution

Option C is correct

$P(A|B) > P(A) \Rightarrow \cfrac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(B)}} > P(A)$

$\Rightarrow$ $P(A \cap B) > P(A) \cdot P(B) \Rightarrow \cfrac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(A)}} > P(B)$

$\Rightarrow$ $P(B|A) > P(B)$
