Explanation Calculation: Total probability: Let A 1 , ... , A k be mutually exclusive and exhaustive events, then the unconditional probability of B can be written average of the conditional probabilities of B given A is, P r ( B ) = ∑ i = 1 k P r ( B | A i ) × P r ( A i ) The event A is defined as 2 out of 2 offspring affected, event B is defined as dominant with complete penetrance, and event C is defined as third child is affected. From Exercise 3.106P, the probability is P r ( B | A ) = 0
