A female offspring has a 50% chance of having the disease and a 50% chance of being a carrier. Male children have a 50% chance of having the disease and a 50% chance of being an unaffected, non-carrier.

Probability is a cause of certification associated with a future success or event and is usually expressed as a number between 0 and 1 (between 0% and 100%).

A traditional way of estimating sometimes we could obtain the frequency of a certain change by carrying out random experiments, of which all possible results are found, under sufficiently stable conditions. An event can be unlikely (with probability close to 0), probable (intermediate probability) or safe (with probability one).

The way to calculate the probability in a population of different sexes, is that with each sex the different probabilities are analyzed as follows:

Probability = Favorable cases / Possible cases.

Explanation:

This is the way to calculate it, but exact numbers cannot be provided since we do not know what pathology is spoken, nor were any specific data given about it, which is why only the theoretical content of how to calculate it is provided.
