The gist of the passage
What does the author really want to say here?
P (h|c) = (P (c|h) × P (h)) | P (c)
P (h|c) × P (c) = P (c|h) × P (h)
"In the above equations, P (h|c) is the probability of the hypothesis h given the condition or the evidence c; P (c|h) is the probability of c given h."

c= when I select 10 random dogs out of a population of 100 dogs, 6 dogs are brown and 4 dogs are yellow.
h=Within the population of 100 dogs, at least 51 are brown.
P(h|c): C is true. There are 6 brown dogs and 4 yellow dogs in my sample. Given that I know that, P(h|c) is the probability that the total population of 100 dogs contains at least 51 brown dogs.
P(c|h): H is true. I know that the total population of 100 dogs contains at least 51 brown dogs. Given that I know that, what is the probability that, if I select 10 dogs at random, there will be 6 brown dogs and 4 yellow dogs.
The equations you gave are known as "Bayes' theorem". They are the basis of Bayesian statistics, which is one of the two main theoretical branches of statistics, competing with the somewhat more common frequentist statistics. You can read about Bayesian statistics in Farsi here:

It's an algebraic equation, and way over my head :)
