Could you explain step by step for the 2nd part of the problem (yellow highlighted---"find posterior probability of Judy is Xx given the information all her N children are Brown eyes, and find probability of her 1st grand child is blue eyes.") how to derive it? I am OK with the 1st part --- Pr(child Xx | child Brown & parents Brown) = 2p/(1+2p) ---- I could get it by breaking down to numerator =Pr (child Xx, child Brown, parent Brown), and denominator = Pr (child Brown, parents Brown) and plug in each probability. But I am getting confused with the 2nd question.

Thank you very much for your help.

Could you explain step by step for the 2nd part of the

Problem Probability calculation for genetics (from Lindley, 1965): suppose that in each individual of a large population there is a pair of genes, each of which can be either x or X, that controls eye color: those with XX have blue eyes, while heterozygotes (those with Xx or XX) and those with XX have brown eyes. The proportion of blue-eyed individuals is p2 and of heterozygotes is 2p(1 p), where 0
