उत्तर
Given P(A) = 0.5
P(B) = 0.8
and P(B/A) = 0.8
P(A/B) = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))` .........(1)
P(B/A) = `("P"("B" ∩ "A"))/("P"("A"))`
P(A ∩ B) = P(B/A) P(A)
Substituting in equation (1) we get
(1) ⇒ P(A/B) = `("P"("B"/"A") * "p"("A"))/("P"("B"))`
= `(0.8 xx 0.5)/0.8`
P(A/B) = 0.5
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) .........(2)
We have P(A/B) = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))`
P(A ∩ B) = P(A/B) . P(B)
= 0.5 × 0.8
P(A ∩ B) = 0.40
(2) ⇒ P(A ∪ B) = 0.5 + 0.8 – 0.40
= 1.3 – 0.40
P(A ∪ B) = 0.90

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?
