प्रश्न
A problem in Mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving it are `1/3, 1/4` and `1/5`. What is the probability that the problem is solved?
उत्तर
Let A1 denote the event of that first student solves the problem.
A2 denote the event that second student solves the problem.
A3 denote the event that third student solves the problem.
Given P(A1) = `1/3`
P(A2) = `1/4`
P(A3) = `1/5`
We note that A1, A2, A3 are independent events.
The problem will be solved if atleast one of them
solves it we have to find P(A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3)
Probability of at least one solves the problem = 1 – Probability of no one solving it
P(A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3) = `1 - "P"(bar"A"_1 ∪ bar"A"_2 ∪ bar"A"_3)`
= `1 - "P"(bar"A"_1) * "P"("A"_2) * "P"("A"_3)`
A1, A2, A3 are independent then `bar"A"1, bar"A"_2, bar"A"_3` are also independent.
= 1 – [1 – p(A1)] [1 – P(A2)] [1 – P(A3)]
= `1 - (1 - 1/3) (1 - 1/4) (1 - 1/5)`
= `1 - (2/3) (3/4) (4/5)`
= `1 - 2/5`
= `(5 - 2)/5`
= `3/5

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected child is left-handed given that exactly one of the parents is left-handed. (2)
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?
