The problem provides the following information:

• $P(A) = \frac{1}{3}$
• $P(B|A) = 0$

The conditional probability $P(B|A) = 0$ implies that event B does not occur given that event A has occurred. This can be interpreted as:

$P(B \cap A) = P(B|A) \times P(A) = 0 \times \frac{1}{3} = 0$

Since $P(B \cap A) = 0$, this means that the events $A$ and $B$ cannot happen together.

Now, to find $P(B)$, we use the law of total probability:

$P(B) = P(B \cap A) + P(B \cap A^c)$

Where $A^c$ is the complement of $A$. From the given information:

$P(B \cap A) = 0$

Therefore:

$P(B) = 0 + P(B \cap A^c) = P(B \cap A^c)$

Without additional information about the relationship between $B$ and $A^c$, we can't directly calculate $P(B)$. However, based on the given data, we can conclude that $P(B)$ depends entirely on the probability of $B$ occurring in the complement of $A$, i.e., when $A$ does not occur.

If you have more details about $P(B|A^c)$, I could help compute $P(B)$ more specifically.

Would you like to proceed with further details or clarifications?

Tip:

The law of total probability is often helpful in problems where you're trying to calculate the probability of an event across multiple scenarios. It requires you to break the event into parts that are easier to evaluate.
