प्रश्न

Given P(A) = 0.4 and P(A ∪ B) = 0.7 Find P(B) if A and B are mutually exclusive

योग

उत्तर

P(A) = 0.4

P(A ∪ B) = 0.7

When A and B are mutually exclusive

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) P(B)

(i.e.,) 0.7 = 0.4 + P(B)

0.7 – 0.4 = P(B)

(i.e.,) P(B) = 0.3

Read the following passage:

Recent studies suggest the roughly 12% of the world population is left-handed.

Depending upon the parents, the chances of having a left-handed child are as follows:

A :  When both father and mother are left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 24%.
B :  When father is right-handed and mother is left-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 22%.
C :  When father is left-handed and mother is right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 17%.
D :  When both father and mother are right-handed:
Chances of left-handed child is 9%.

Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = `1/4` and L denotes the event that child is left-handed.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

  1. Find `P(L/C)` (1)
  2. Find `P(overlineL/A)` (1)
  3. (a) Find `P(A/L)` (2)
    OR
    (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (2)
