    P (B) = 1 - P (B') = 1 - (7/12) = 5/12 P (A∩B) = P (A∩ B′) / P (B′) * P (B) / 1

    Plugging values into the last equation we get: P (A∩B) = 1*12*5 / 6*7*12 = 542

    Now we can make use of the following formula P (A|B) = P (A∩B) / P (B) by plugging in the values that we have found.

    5/42 is the numerator and the denominator is 5/12.

    The bottom (denominator) is P (B) which equals 5/12.

    P (A|B) = 5*12 / 42*5 = 6/210

    6/210 = 2/7

    p (a[b]) = 2/7
