Step-by-Step Solution

The question asks for the value of \(P(S|E)\), which is the probability of the sample space S occurring given that event E has occurred.

By the definition of conditional probability, \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(S \cap E)}{P(E)}\)

Since E is an event in the sample space S, \(S \cap E = E\). Therefore, \(P(S \cap E) = P(E)\)

Substituting this into the conditional probability formula, we get \(P(S|E) = \frac{P(E)}{P(E)} = 1\)

Correct Answer: 1
