The derivation of Bayes' theorem requires that the conditioning probabilities be nonzero. Specifically, when deriving P(A∣B)P(A|B) from the intersection, we divide by P(B)P(B), so P(B)P(B) must be positive.

Conditions: Deriving Bayes' formula from conditional probability definitions.; P(B)>0P(B) > 0 for P(A∣B)P(A|B) to be defined.; P(A)>0P(A) > 0 for P(B∣A)P(B|A) to be defined.
