If A and B are two independent events such that P(A ∪ B) = 0.6, P(A) = 0.2, find P(B)
उत्तर
Given A and B are independent.
⇒ P(A ∪ B) = P(A) . P(B)
Here P(A ∪ B) = 0.6 and P(A) = 0.2
To find P(B):
Now, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
(i.e.,) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) . P(B)
(i.e.,) 0.6 = 0.2 + P(B) (1 – 0.2)
P(B) (0.8) = 0.4
⇒ P(B) = `0.4/0.8`
= `4/8`
= `1/2`
= 0.5

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?
