A researcher studied the relationship between the salary of a working woman with school-aged children and the number of children she had. The results are shown in the following frequency table:
Number of Children
Salary |
2 or fewer children |
more than 2 children |
high salary |
13 |
2 |
medium salary |
20 |
10 |
low salary |
30 |
25 |
If a working woman has more than 2 children, what is the probability she has a low or medium salary?
A. 0.79 B. 0.45 C. 0.35 D. 0.95
9) P(low or medium salary | more than 2 children) = P(low or medium salary and more than 2 children)/P(more than 2 children)
= (10 + 25)/(10 + 25 + 2)
= 35/37 = 0.95
Option - D is correct
