Explanation / Answer
Only first four parts will be solvd. according to the rule of this site.
a.
total no of individuals = 13+45+34+42+6+83=223
so, the probability of one or both parents are hyperlipidemic = (13+45+34+42)/223=134/223
b.
the probability that the child and both parents are hyperlipidemic? (2.5 points)
Probability:
13+45+6+42/223=106/223
c
the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic if neither of his/her parents are hyperlipidemic
6/223
d
the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic if both of his/her parents are hyperlipidemic
= 45/223
Note : The numerator in each case has been set in a way so that we add the numbers in the boxes which agree witth the statement of the problem
for example : in the last question only the 1st box in the second row agrees to condition of the question. so, we keep only that box's number in the numerator.
