(A) The rule shows how to handle "conditional probabilities', ones which show the effect of one event on another.
(B) Bayes's rule is used to find the probability of an event experimentally, the experimenter starts with a degree of belief in each of his or her hypotheses, and uses Bayes's rule to modify these degrees of belief according to the results of experimentation (for example, an experiment could consist of asking a patient if he or she has back pains). The method is commonly used today by computers, providing expert systems' used in medicine, prospecting, and fault diagnosis.
