    (C) 1/6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pr that event A will occur = 0.5

    Pr that event B will occur = 0.6

    Pr that both A and B occurs = 0.1

    Pr (A) = 0.5

    Pr (B) = 0.6

    Pr (AnB) = 0.1

    The conditional probability of A given B is Pr (A|B) = Pr (AnB) / Pr (A)

    = 0.1/0.6

    = 1/6 (C)
