उत्तर

If P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.8 and P(B|A) = 0.6, then P(A ∪ B) is equal to 0.96.

Explanation:

Given that: P(A) = 0.4

P(B) = 0.8

And `"P"("B"/"A")` = 0.6

`"P"("B"/"A") = ("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("A"))`

⇒ 0.6 = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/0.4`

∴ P(A ∩ B) = 0.6 × 0.4 = 0.24

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

= 0.4 + 0.8 – 0.24

= 1.20 – 0.24

= 0.96

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.

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)

For a two-child family, let E be “both children are boys” and F be “at least one child is a boy.” Which pair correctly gives E and F?
