उत्तर
It is given that,
2P(A) = P(B) = `5/13`
`\implies` P(A) = `5/26` and P(B) = `5/13`
`\implies` P(A | B) = `2/5`
`\implies (P(A ∩ B))/(P(B)) = 2/5`
`\implies P(A ∩ B) = 2/5 xx P(B)`
= `2/5 xx 5/13`
= `2/13`
It is known that,
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
`\implies` P(A ∪ B) = `5/26 + 5/13 - 2/13`
`\implies` P(A ∪ B) = `(5 + 10 - 4)/26`
`\implies` P(A ∪ B) = `11/26`

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. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

A Problem in Mathematics is given to the three students A, B and C. Their chances of solving the problem are `1/2, 1/3` and `1/4` respectively. Find the probability that exactly two students will solve the problem.
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?
