    P (B/A) ≠P (B)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that A and B are two events and P (B/A) is the given probability notation for conditional probability.

    For independence of two events with conditional probability the two events are said to be independent if

    P (B/A) = P (B)

    This equation can be derived from the definition of conditional probability.

    P (B/A) = P (A∩B) / P (A)

    If two events are independent then P (A∩B) = P (A) * P (B), substituting this in the above equation

    P (B/A) = P (A) * P (B) / P (A)

    P (B/A) = P (A).

    So, if two events are not independent then the notation of probability is

    P (B/A) ≠P (B)
