Suppose we have four boxes. A, B, C and D containing coloured marbles as given below:
| Box | Marble colour | ||
| Red | White | Black | |
| A | 1 | 6 | 3 |
| B | 6 | 2 | 2 |
| C | 8 | 1 | 1 |
| D | 0 | 6 | 4 |
One of the boxes has been selected at random and a single marble is drawn from it. If the marble is red, what is the probability that it was drawn from box A?, box B?, box C?

उत्तर
The probability of selecting one box out of the given 4 boxes = `1/4`
i.e., P(E1) = P(E2) = P(E3) = P(E4) = `1/4`
Let the 4th event be drawing a red piece. There are a total of 10 pieces in box A, of which 1 is red.
∴ `P(A/E_1) = 1/10`
Similarly `P(A/E_2) = 6/10, P(A/E_3) = 8/10, P(A/E_4) = 0`
(i) Again, by Bayes' theorem,
`P((E_1)/A) = (P(E_1) xx P((A)/E_1))/(P(E_1) xxP(A/E_1) + P(E_2) xx P(A/E_2) + P(E_3) xx P(A/E_3) + P(E_4) xx P(A/E_4))`
= `(1/4 xx 1/10)/(1/4 xx 1/10 + 1/4 xx 6/10 + 1/4 xx 8/10 + 1/4 xx 0)`
= `1/(1 + 6 + 8)`
= `1/15`
(ii) Again, by Bayes' theorem,
= `P((E_2)/A) = (P(E_2) xx P((A)/E_2))/(P(E_1) xxP(A/E_1) + P(E_2) xx P(A/E_2) + P(E_3) xx P(A/E_3) + P(E_4) xx P(A/E_4))`
= `(1/4 xx 6/10)/(1/4 xx 1/10 + 1/4 xx 6/10 + 1/4 xx 8/10 + 1/4 xx 0)`
= `6/(1 + 6 + 8)`
= `6/15`
= `2/5`
(iii) and by Bayes' theorem,
= `P((E_3)/A) = (P(E_3) xx P((A)/E_3))/(P(E_1) xxP(A/E_1) + P(E_2) xx P(A/E_2) + P(E_3) xx P(A/E_3) + P(E_4) xx P(A/E_4))`
= `(1/4 xx 8/10)/(1/4 xx 1/10 + 1/4 xx 6/10 + 1/4 xx 8/10 + 1/4 xx 0)`
= `8/(1 + 6+ 8)`
= `8/15`
Hence, the probability of a red piece being selected from box A, box B, and box C is `1/5`, `2/5` and `8/15`, respectively.

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?
