उत्तर

If a coin is tossed three times, then the sample space 'S' is,

S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

Total sample space = 23 = 8.

E: Minimum two heads: {HHH, HTH, THH, HHH}

F: At most one head : P(E ∩ F) = `"Number of events occurring"/"Total number"`

= {TTT, HTT, THT, HTT, HHT, HTH, THH}

∴ E ∩ F = {HHT, HTH, THH}

Hence, `P (E) = 4/8 = 1/2, P(F) = 7/8`

and `P (E cap F) = 3/8`

P(E | F) = `(P(E ∩ F))/(P(F))`

`= (3/8)/(7/8)`

= `3/7`

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.

  1. What is the overall probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  2. Given that exactly one parent is left-handed, what is the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  3. If a child is left-handed, what is the probability that both parents are left-handed?
