उत्तर
If P(A) = `3/10`, P(B) = `2/5` and P(A ∪ B) = `3/5`, then P(B|A) + P(A|B) equals `7/12`.
Explanation:
Here, P(A) = `3/10`, P(B) = `2/5` and P(A ∪ B) = `3/5`
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
⇒ `3/5 = 3/10 + 2/5` – P(A ∩ B)
⇒ P(A ∩ B) = `3/10 + 2/5 - 3/5`
= `(3 + 4 - 6)/10`
= `1/10`
Now `"P"("A"/"B") + "P"("B"/"A") = ("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B")) + ("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("A"))`
= `(1/10)/(2/5) + (1/10)/(3/10)`
= `1/4 + 1/3`
= `7/12`

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?
