Between 5 and 17.5 percent of school children have dyslexia d.if you parent is dyslexic,the chance of you having dyslexia is 50 percent
D. If your parent is dyslexic, the chance of you having dyslexia is 50 percent. (This statement is false as the probability of having dyslexia if one parent is dyslexic is around 40 percent, and if both parents are dyslexic, then the probability increases to around 80 percent.)
The false statement regarding dyslexia is:
d. If your parent is dyslexic, the chance of you having dyslexia is 50 percent.
The chance of having dyslexia if your parent is dyslexic is not necessarily 50 percent. While the risk of having dyslexia is higher for individuals with a family history of dyslexia, it is not a 50 percent guarantee.
