Recent studies suggest that $12\%$ of the world population is left-handed. Depending on parents' hand usage, the chances of having left-handed children are as follows: $A$. Both parents are left-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $24\%$. $B$. Both parents are right-handed, chance of having left-handed children = $9\%$. $C$. Father left-handed and mother right-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $17\%$. $D$. Father right-handed and mother left-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $22\%$. Given $P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = 1/4$ and $L$ denotes the event that the child is left-handed. What is the probability $P(A|L)$?

  • A
    $\frac{17}{100}$
  • B
    $\frac{19}{25}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$
