उत्तर

When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the sample space is
S = = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let A be the event that at least one die shows number 5.
∴ A = {(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5)}
∴ n(A) = 11

∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 11/36`
Let B be the event that sum of the numbers on two dice is 9.
∴ B = {(3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3)}
∴ n(B) = 4

∴ P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S")) = 4/36`
∴ A ∩ B is the event that one dice shows a 5 and the sum of the numbers is 9.
∴ A ∩ B =  {(4, 5), (5, 4)}
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 2

∴ P(A ∩ B) = `("n"("A" ∩ "B"))/("n"("S")) = 2/36 `
Now, probability that sum of the numbers on the dice is
9, given that one dice shows 5 is given by,

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

= `(2/36)/(11/36)`

=  `2/11`

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)

If A and B are two independent events such that P(A) = `1/3` and P(B) = `1/4`, then `P(B^'/A)` is ______.
