Question
Choose the correct alternative:
If A and B are any two events, then the probability that exactly one of them occur is
Options
`"P"("A" ∪ bar"B") + P(bar"A" ∪ "B")`
`"P"("A" ∩ bar"B") + P(bar"A" ∩ "B")
P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
P(A) + P(B) + 2P(A ∩ B)

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?
