QUESTION:

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

Equation transcription:

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
