Prove that P(A|B,C)=P(A|C,B) after applying the Bayesian updating process. That is, prove that the order in which the information is presented does not matter.

We know that $P(A|B,C) = \frac{P(A \cap B \cap C)}{P(B \cap C)}$

$ \ \ = \frac{P(A \cap C \cap B)}{P(C \cap B)}$

$= P(A|C,B)$

$ P(A|B,C)=P(A|B |C)=\frac{P(A,B,C)}{P(B).P(C)}= \frac{P(A,C,B)}{P(C).P(B)}= P(A|C |B)= P(A|C,B)$
