Hi, please write your work out. thank you very much for your help!! 7. Suppose that a disease is inherited via a sex- linked modeof inheritance, so that a male offspring has a 50% chance ofinheriting the disease but a female offspring has no chance ofinheriting the disease. further suppose that 51.3% of births aremale. what is the probability that a randomly chosen child will beaffected by the disease? 7. Suppose that a disease is inherited via a sex- linked modeof inheritance, so that a male offspring has a 50% chance ofinheriting the disease but a female offspring has no chance ofinheriting the disease. further suppose that 51.3% of births aremale. what is the probability that a randomly chosen child will beaffected by the disease?

Explanation / Answer

P(male) = 0.513 P(disease |male) = 0.50 P(disease| female) = 0 The last two are conditional proporties: the change the get thedisease given that your are male for example. The change that a randomly chosen child will be affected by thedisease: P(male)* P(disease|male) = 0.513*0.50=0.2565 Good Luck!
