Hello Abdulrahman,

The formula P(A|B) * P(B) = P(A INTERSECT WITH B) simply rearranges the definition of conditional probability, while Bayes' rule provides a way to compute P(A|B) when you know P(B|A), P(A), and P(B).

In practical terms, Bayes' rule is powerful because it allows us to update our probabilities about an event A given new evidence about an event B.

Does this make sense, please?
