    Answer: The correct choice is B.

    When you have a vertical line in a probability statement, it is referring to the fact that the second event has already happened.

    Imagine, drawing marbles from a bag of blue and red marbles. You could write a probability statement in which you asked, "What is the probability of drawing a red marble given that you just drew a blue marble?"

    In this case, you would use a vertical line separating the two events.
