If P(B) = 0.4 and P(A∩B) = 0.2, what is P(A|B)?
💡 Hint: Use the formula for conditional probability.
If P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.3, and they are independent, what is P(A|B)?
💡 Hint: If A and B are independent events, P(A|B) = P(A).

In a country, 40% of adults smoke. Amongst smokers, 1 in 4 develop chronic diseases. What is the conditional probability that a randomly selected adult has a chronic disease given they are a smoker?
💡 Hint: Use joint probability alongside the percentage of smokers.
