(a)

Hair Type Brown Blond Black Red Totals
Wavy 21 5 14 4 44
Straight 80 14 66 13 173
Totals 101 19 80 17 217

(b)

The probability that a randomly selected child will have wavy hair = 44/217

(c)

The probability that a randomly selected child will have either brown or blond hair = (101 + 19)/217 = 120/217

(d)

The probability that a randomly selected child will have wavy brown hair = 21/217

(e)

The probability that a randomly selected child will have red hair, given that he has straight hair

= 13/173

(f)

The probability of the complement of B = 1 - Probability of B = 1 - 101/217 = 116/217

(g)

The complement of B would be the event of a child not having brown hair
