If P(A) = `2/5`, P(B) = `3/10` and P(A ∩ B) = `1/5`, then P(A|B).P(B'|A') is equal to `25/42`.
Explanation:
Given that: P(A) = `2/5`, P(B) = `3/10` and P(A ∩ B) = `1/5`
P(A') = `1 - 2/5 = 3/5`
P(B') = `1 - 3/10 = 7/10`
And P(A' ∩ B') = 1 – P(A ∪ B)
= 1 – [P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)]
= `1 - [2/5 + 3/10 - 1/5]`
= `1 - [1/5 + 3/10]`
= `1 - 5/10`
= `1/2`
∴ `"P"("A'"/"B'") = ("P"("A'" ∩ "B'"))/("P"("B'"))`
= `(1/2)/(7/10)`
= `5/7`
And `"P"("B'"/"A'") = ("P"("A'" ∩ "B'"))/("P"("A'"))`
= `(1/2)/(3/5)`
= `5/6`
∴ `"P"("A'"/"B'")*"P"("B'"/"A'") = 5/7 xx 5/6`
= `25/42`

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box.

If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

A Problem in Mathematics is given to the three students A, B and C. Their chances of solving the problem are `1/2, 1/3` and `1/4` respectively. Find the probability that at least two of them will solve the problem.
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?
