उत्तर
If the sum of numbers obtained on throwing a pair of dice is 9, then the probability that number obtained on one of the dice is 4, is `underlinebb(1/2)`.
Explanation:
When two dice are thrown, then
Total probable cases, n(S) = 36
Cases when the sum of 9 is obtained,
A = (3, 6), (6, 3), (4, 5), (5, 4)
n(A) = 4
∴ P(A) = `4/36 = 1/9`
Now, cases when there is 4 on one of dice (sum is 9).
B = (4, 5), (5, 4),
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 2
P(A ∩ B) = `2/36`
Required probability
`P(B/A) = (P(B ∩ A))/(P(A))`
= `(2/36)/(4/36)`
= `1/2`

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?
If A and B are events and \[P(A) \neq 0\], which expression gives \[P(B \mid A)\]?
