Mother, Father and Son line up at random for a family picture. Let events E : Son on one end and F : Father in the middle. Find \(P(E/F)\).
Mother, Father and Son line up at random for a family picture. Let events E : Son on one end and F : Father in the middle. Find \(P(E/F)\).
Show Hint
Whenever the sample space size is small (like 6 elements here), explicitly writing out the sets makes it visually obvious to find intersections and eliminates any logical counting mistakes.

A gardener wanted to plant vegetables in his garden. Hence he bought 10 seeds of brinjal plant, 12 seeds of cabbage plant, and 8 seeds of radish plant. The shopkeeper assured him of germination probabilities of brinjal, cabbage, and radish to be 25%, 35%, and 40% respectively. But before he could plant the seeds, they got mixed up in the bag and he had to sow them randomly.
