Assignment Help Basic Statistics
Reference no: EM131680324

Question: Show that if P(A) = 1, then P(A|B) = 1 for any B with P(B) > 0. Intuitively, this says that if someone dogmatically believes something with absolute certainty, then no amount of evidence will change their mind. The principle of avoiding assigning probabilities of 0 or 1 to any event (except for mathematical certainties) was named Cromwell's rule by the statistician Dennis Lindley, due to Cromwell saying to the Church of Scotland, "think it possible you may be mistaken".
