Answer:
(1) a. 0.0009
(2) d. 0.640
(3)
- a. P(A and B) = 0.06.
- b. P(A or B) = 0.70.
(4)Not disjoint
(5) a. nearly 0.
(6)b. 0.919
Step-by-Step Explanation:
(1)Probability of a baby being born with a birth defect =3%=0.03
The probability that both babies have birth defects=0.03 X 0.03= 0.0009.
(2)The probability of contracting the influenza virus each year = 20%=0.2
Therefore, the probability of not contracting the influenza virus =1-0.2=0.8
The probability that neither baby catches the flu in a given year:
=0.8 X 0.8
=0.64
(3)
P(A)=0.1
P(B)=0.6
P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)=0.1 + 0.6 =0.7
P(A and B)=P(A)XP(B)=0.1 X 0.6 =0.06
(4)
P(A)=0.2
P(B)=0.9
Event A and B cannot be disjoint.
(5)

(6)The probability of an American woman aged 20 to 24 not having Chlamydia infection
