उत्तर

P(A) = 0.4

P(A ∪ B) = 0.7

P(B/A) = 0.5

(i.e.,) `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("A"))` = 0.5

(i.e.,) P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 × P(A)

= 0.5 × 0.4

= 0.2

Now P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

⇒ 0.7 = 0.4 + P(B) – 0.2

⇒ 0.7 = P(B) + 0.2

⇒ P(B) = 0.7 – 0.2 = 0.5

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.

  1. What is the overall probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  2. Given that exactly one parent is left-handed, what is the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  3. If a child is left-handed, what is the probability that both parents are left-handed?
