An extended family consists of 55 men and 45 women (children are notincluded) performed a laboratory test to check the existence of gene X intheir DNA. The results indicated that 10% of men and 60% of women carrythis gene. One adult is randomly selected from this family, finda)The probability that the selected adult carries this geneb)If the selected adult carries this gene what is the probability he is amale?

Explanation: Men = 55 Women = 45 Sample size n = 55+45 = 100 It is given that 10% of men carry gene,…
