उत्तर
Total number of balls = 10 + 15 = 25
Let S be event that two balls are drawn at random without replacement in succession
∴ n(S) = `""^25"C"_1xx""^24"C"_1` = 25 × 24
Let A be the event that the first ball is white and second is black.
First white ball can be drawn from 10 white balls in 10C1 ways and second black ball can be drawn from 15 black balls in 15C1 ways.
∴ n(A) = `""^10"C"_1xx""^15"C"_1`
∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))=(""^10"C"_1xx""^15"C"_1) /(25xx24)=(10xx15)/(25xx24)=1/4`

Recent studies suggest the roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed.
Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = `1/4` and L denotes the event that child is left-handed. |

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (2)
Students of under graduation submitted a case study on “Understanding the Probability of Left-Handedness in Children Based on Parental Handedness”. Following Recent studies suggest that roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed. Depending on the parents’ handedness, the chances of having a left-handed child are as follows:
Scenario A: Both parents are left-handed, with a 24% chance of the child being left-handed.
Scenario B: The fathers is right-handed and the mothers left-handed, with a 22% chance of child being left-handed.
Scenario C: The fathers left-handed and the mother is right-handed, with a 17% chance of child being left-handed.
Scenario D: Both parents are right-handed, with a 9% chance of having a left-handed child.
Assuming that scenarios A, B, C and D are equally likely and L denotes the event that the child is left-handed, answer the following questions.
- What is the overall probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
- Given that exactly one parent is left-handed, what is the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
- If a child is left-handed, what is the probability that both parents are left-handed?
