Two thirds of students in a class are boys and rest girls. It is known that the probability of a girl getting a first grade is 0.85 and that of boys is 0.70. Find the probability that a student chosen at random will get first grade marks.
उत्तर
Let G be the event of choosing a boy and G be the event of choosing a girl.
Given P(B) = `2/3`
P(G) = `1/3`
Let B1 be the event of a boy getting first grade
P(B1) = 0.70
Let G1 be the event of a girl getting first grade
P(G1) = 0.85
Probability of a student getting a first grade = Probability of a boy getting first grade or Probability
of a Girl getting first grade
= P(B) × P(B1) + P(G) × P(G1)
= `2/3 xx 0.70 + 1/3 x 0.85`
= `(1.4 + 0.85)/3`
= `2.25/3`
= 0.75

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

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 exactly two students will solve the problem.
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?
