Answer the following based on the table leaving answers to 4 decimal places:
1. What is the probability that a daughter is 60 to 65 inches tall? nothing
2. What is the probability that a mother will NOT be 55 to 60 inches tall? nothing
3. What is the probability that a mother will be 65 to 70 inches tall OR the daughter will be 70 to 75 inches tall? nothing
4. What is the probability that a daughter will be 60 to 65 inches tall, GIVEN that the mother is 65 to 70 inches tall? nothing
5. Assume that two mothers are selected WITHOUT replacement. What is the probaility that both will be 55 to 60 inches tall? nothing
6. Assume that two daughters are selected WITH replacement. What is the probability that they are both 65 to 70 inches tall? nothing
1. The probability that a daughter is 60 to 65 inches tall
= 853/1375 = 0.62036 = 0.6204
2. The probability that a mother will NOT be 55 to 60 inches tall
= 1 - 194/1375 = 0.85890 = 0.8589
3. The probability that a mother will be 65 to 70 inches tall OR the daughter will be 70 to 75 inches tall
= 195/1375 + 13/1375 - 8/1375 = 0.14545 = 0.1455
4. The probability that a daughter will be 60 to 65 inches tall, GIVEN that the mother is 65 to 70 inches tall
= 67/195 = 0.34358 = 0.3436
5. The probaility that both will be 55 to 60 inches tall
= (194C2)/(1375C2) = 0.01981 = 0.0198
6. The probability that they are both 65 to 70 inches tall
= (426/1375)×(426/1375) = 0.09598 = 0.0960
