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 = {HHH, HTH, THH, TTH}

F = {HHH, HHT}

E ∩ F = {HHH}

P(E ∩ F) = `1/8`, P(F) = `2/8 = 1/4`

P(E | F) = `(P(E ∩ F))/(P(F)) = (1/8)/(1/4)`

`= 4/8`

`= 1/2`

Read the following passage:

Recent studies suggest the roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed.

Depending upon the parents, the chances of having a left-handed child are as follows:

A :  When both father and mother are left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 24%.
B :  When father is right-handed and mother is left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 22%.
C :  When father is left-handed and mother is right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 17%.
D :  When both father and mother are right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 9%.

Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = `1/4` and L denotes the event that child is left-handed.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

  1. Find `P(L/C)` (1)
  2. Find `P(overlineL/A)` (1)
  3. (a) Find `P(A/L)` (2)
    OR
    (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (2)

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.

  1. What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
  2. What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
  3. What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
