Question

on the side of the graph the numbers are .00, .05, .10, .15, .20, . 25,.30.

on top of the lines the numbers are line one .237 , line two .283, line three .165, line four .114, line five .094, line six .021, line seven.034, and line eight .052

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected 44 to 49-year-old mother who had a live birth in 2015 has had her fourth live birth?

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected 44- to 49-year-old mother who had a live birth in 2015 has had her fourth or fifth live birth?

(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected 44- to 49-year-old mother who had a live birth in 2015 has had her sixth or more live birth?

(d) If a 44- to 49-year-old mother who had a live birth in 2015 is randomly selected, how many live births would you expect the mother to have had?

Explanation / Answer

a) Here, from the graph, we see that:

P(X = 4) = 0.114

Therefore 0.114 is the required probability here.

b) The required probability here is computed as:

P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.114 + 0.094 = 0.208

Therefore 0.208 is the required probability here.

c) Here the required probability is computed as:

P(X >= 6 ) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.021 + 0.034 + 0.052 = 0.107

Therefore 0.107 is the required probability here.

d) The expected value of X here is computed as:

E(X) = 1*P(X = 1) + 2P(X= 2) + ...... + 8P(X = 8)

E(X) = 1*0.237 + 2*0.283 + 3*0.165 + 4*0.114 + 5*0.094 + 6*0.021+ 7*0.034 + 8*0.052

E(X) = 3.004

Therefore 3.004 births would be expected the mother to have had.
