A year is selected at random. What is the probability that it is a leap year which contains 53 Sundays
Advertisements
उत्तर
Probability of year being a leap year = `1/4`
Probability of year being non – leap year = `3/4`
A leap year has 366 days
`366/7` = 52 weeks + 2 days
In 52 weeks,
we get 52 Sundays.
From the remaining two days we should get one Sunday
The remaining two days can be any one of the following combinations.
Saturday and Sunday, Sunday and Monday, Monday and Tuesday, Tuesday and Wednes¬day, Wednesday and Thursday, Thursday and Friday, Friday and Saturday of the seven combinations two have Sundays.
∴ (Probability of getting a Sunday = `2/7`
Selecting a leap year = `1/4`
∴ In every four consecutive years we get one leap year
∴ Probability of getting 53 Sundays = `2/7 xx 1/4 xx 1/14`

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?
Compute P(A|B), if P(B) = 0.5 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.32.
