Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. Assuming that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options, the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga. Interpret the result and state which of the above stated methods is more beneficial for the patient.

उत्तर
Let A, E1, and E2 respectively denote the events that a person has a heart attack, the selected person followed the course of yoga and meditation, and the person adopted the drug prescription.
`therefore P(A)=0.40`
`P(E_1)=P(E_2)=1/2`
`P(A|E_1)=0.40xx0.70=0.28P(A|E_2)=0.40xx0.75=0.30`
Probability that the patient suffering a heart attack followed a course of meditation and yoga is given by `P (E1|A).`
`P(E_1|A)=(P(E_1)P(A|E_1))/(P(E_1)P(A|E_1)+P(E_2)P(A|E_2))`
`=(1/2xx0.28)/(1/2xx0.28+1/2xx0.30)`
`=14/29`
Let us calculate `P(E_2|A)`
`P(E_2|A)=(P(E_2)P(A|E_2))/(P(E_1)P(A|E_1)+P(E_2)P(A|E_2))`
`=(1/2xx0.30)/(1/2xx0.28+1/2xx0.30)`
`=15/29`
Since `P(E_1|A)< P(E_2|A) ` the course of yoga and meditation is more beneficial for a person having chances of heart attack.

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
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?
