उत्तर
Let A ≡ the event that first card is a face card
B ≡ the event that second card is a face card
Since there are 12 face cards in the pack of 52 cards,
P(A) = `12/52 = 3/13`
`"P"("B"//"A")` = Probability that second card is a face card under the condition that first face card is not replaced. When the second card is drawn, the pack has 51 cards including 11 face cards.
∴ `"P"("B"//"A") = 11/51`
∴ the required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= `"P"("A")*"P"("B"//"A")`
= `3/13 xx 11/51`
= `11/221`.

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?

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (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?
