Answers (1)

Answer:

            (a)

Hint:

            You must know rules of conditional probability

Given:

            6% people are left handed with blood group O, 10% of those with other blood group are left handed, 30% of people have blood group O

Solution:

E_1= The people selected is of blood group O

E_2= The people selected is of other than blood group O

E_3=Selected person is left handed

\begin{aligned} &P\left(E_{1}\right)=0.3 \\ &P\left(E_{2}\right)=0.7 \\ &P\left(\frac{E}{E_{1}}\right)=0.06 \\ &P\left(\frac{E}{E_{2}}\right)=0.1 \end{aligned}

Probability of selecting a left handed person

\begin{aligned} &P(E)=P\left(\frac{E}{E_{1}}\right) \cdot P\left(E_{1}\right)+P\left(E_{2}\right) \cdot P\left(\frac{E}{E_{2}}\right) \\ &=0.3 \times 0.06+0.7 \times 0.1 \\ &=0.018+0.07 \\ &=0.088 \end{aligned}

So, (a) is correct answer
