उत्तर
If for two events A and B, P(A – B) = `1/5` and P(A) = `3/5`, then `P(B/A)` is equal to `underlinebb(2/3)`.
Explanation:
Given,
P(A – B) = `1/5` and P(A) = `3/5`
∵ P(A – B) = `P(A ∩ overlineB)`
= P(A) – P(A ∩ B)
`\implies 1/5 = 3/5 - P(A ∩ B)`
`\implies` P(A ∩ B) = `3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5`
Now `P(B/A) = (P(A ∩ B))/(P(A))`
= `(2/5)/(3/5)`
= `2/3`

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?
