Natural red hair consists of two genes. People with red
Chapter 2, Problem 226SE(choose chapter or problem)
Natural red hair consists of two genes. People with red hair have two dominant genes, two regressive genes, or one dominant and one regressive gene. A group of 1000 people was
categorized as follows:
Let 𝐴 denote the event that a person has a dominant red hair gene, and let 𝐵 denote the event that a person has a regressive red hair gene. If a person is selected at random from this group,
compute the following:
(a) \(P(A)\)
(b) \(P(A \cap B)\)
(c) \(P(A \cup B)\)
(d) \(P\left(A^{\prime} \cap B\right)\)
(e) \(P(A \backslash B)\)
(f) Probability that the selected person has red hair

ANSWER:Solution
Step 1 of 6
Given that the group of people is 1000
Let A denote the person has a dominant red hair gene
Let B denote the person has a regressive red hair gene
a)We have to find
(5+25+30+7+20)1000
=87/1000
=0.087
