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.
- 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?
