 \(F\)-confirmation also implies another attractive quantitative result, alleviating the ailments of the irrelevant conjunction paradox. In the statement below, indicating this result, the irrelevance of \(q\) for hypothesis \(h\) and evidence \(e\) (relative to \(k\)) is meant to amount to the probabilistic independence of \(q\) from \(h, e\) and their conjunction (given \(k\)), that is, to \(P(h \wedge q\mid k) = P(h\mid k)P(q\mid k),\) \(P(e \wedge q\mid k) = P(e\mid k)P(q\mid k)\), and \(P(h \wedge e \wedge q\mid k) = P(h \wedge e\mid k)P(q\mid k)\), respectively.
