 If events **A** and **B** are complex events that will not exclude each other, we have a so-called conditional probability (event A affects event B). If events **A** and **B** are complex events that will not exclude each other, we have a so-called conditional probability (event A affects event B).

 +Find the conditional probability of a machine breakdown given that preventive maintenance was performed.
 +
 +We have the following information:
 +  * The probability that the machine breaks down (Event A) is \( p(A) = 0.10 \)
 +  * The probability that the machine undergoes preventive maintenance (Event B) is \( p(B) = 0.30 \)
 +  * The probability that the machine both breaks down and has undergone preventive maintenance is \( p(A \cap B) = 0.015 \)
 +
 +To calculate the conditional probability of the machine breaking down given that it underwent preventive maintenance, we apply the conditional probability formula: 
 +
 +$$ p(A|B) = \frac{p(A \cap B)}{p(B)} $$
 +
 +Substitute the values:

 +$$ p(A|B) = \frac{0.015}{0.30} $$

 +Thus, the probability that the machine breaks down given that it underwent preventive maintenance is \( p(A|B) = 0.05 \), or 5%.
