उत्तर
Let m, f and s denote respectively the mother, father and the son, then sample space S is S = {mfs, msf, fms, fsm, smf, sfm}.
E: son on one end
F: father in the middle
i.e., E = {mfs, fms, sfm, smf) and F = {sfm, mfs)
⇒ E ∩ F = {mfs, sfm)
`P (E) = 4/6 = 2/3`
`P (F) = 2/6 = 1/3`
`P (E cap F) = 2/6 = 1/3`
∴ `P (E|F) = (P (E cap F))/(P (F))`
`= (1/3)/(1/3)`
= 1

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box.
