P (female | pink lemonade) = P (pink lemonade) = 0.3.

P (pink lemonade | female) = 0.3 and P (pink lemonade) = 0.6.

P (female | pink lemonade) = 0.3 and P (pink lemonade) = 0.6.

    Option A is right.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given are two events as "prefers pink lemonade" and "female"

    If independent we must have P (female) * P (prefers pink) = P (female and prefers pink)

    Let us check from the given options.

    A) P (pink lemonade./female) = P (pink lemonade) = 0.6.

    this is correct because conditional probability and general probability are the same.

    B) P (Pink lemonade/female) = 0.3 not equals P (pink lemonade) Hence incorrect

    C) P (female/pink lemonade) = 0.3 and P (pink lemonade) = 0.6 incorrect
