Using the assumed values from the classroom example where A denotes alcohol dependence and B denotes being a man, you divide the probability of the intersection P(A∩B) by the probability of the conditioning event P(B). With P(A∩B)=0.0225 and P(B)=0.5, the calculation is 0.0225/0.5=0.045, or 4.5%.
Conditions: P(A∩B)=0.0225.; P(B)=0.5.; These are illustrative inputs, not verified population statistics.
