उत्तर

Let A and B be two events. If P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.4, P(A ∪ B) = 0.6, then P(A|B) is equal to 0.

Explanation:

From the given data P(A) + P(B) = P(A ∪ B).

This shows that P(A ∩ B) = 0.

Thus P(A|B) = `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))` = 0.

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)

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.


Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.

  1. What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
  2. What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
  3. What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?

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.

  1. What is the overall probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  2. Given that exactly one parent is left-handed, what is the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed?
  3. If a child is left-handed, what is the probability that both parents are left-handed?
