Using the definition of an D5811: Event-conditional probability, we have \begin{equation} \mathbb{P}(E \mid F) = \frac{\mathbb{P}(E \cap F)}{\mathbb{P}(F)} \end{equation} and thus $\mathbb{P}(E \cap F) = \mathbb{P}(E \mid F) \mathbb{P}(F)$. But now we can switch the places of $E$ and $F$ to obtain \begin{equation} \mathbb{P}(E \mid F) \mathbb{P}(F) = \mathbb{P}(E \cap F) = \mathbb{P}(F \mid E) \mathbb{P}(E) \end{equation} This is precisely what was required to be shown. $\square$
