Question:
Mother, father and son line up at random for a family picture
E: son on one end, F: father in middle
Solution:
If mother (M), father (F), and son (S) line up for the family picture, then the sample space will be
S = {MFS, MSF, FMS, FSM, SMF, SFM}
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=\{\mathrm{MFS}, \mathrm{FMS}, \mathrm{SMF}, \mathrm{SFM}\}$
F = {MFS, SFM}
$\therefore \mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{F}=\{\mathrm{MFS}, \mathrm{SFM}\}$
$\therefore E \cap F=\{M F S, S F M\}$
$P(E \cap F)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
$P(F)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
$\therefore P(E \mid F)=\frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}=1$
