Answer 1

Household Income		Insured	Uninsured	Total
Less than $25,000		52989	7833	60822
$25,000 to $49,999		64279	8263	72542
$50,000 to $74,999		58121	5542	63663
$75,000 to $99,999		42303	3530	45833
$100,000 or more		106372	4482	110854

a) Number of people did not have health insurance = 29650
Total number of people in population = 353714
Percentage of U. S. population in 2015 did not have health insurance = (29650 /353714) * 100% = 8.38%
b) Number of people lived in household earning $ 100000 or more = 110854
Percentage of people lived in household earning $ 100000 or more =(110854/ 353714) * 100% = 31.34%
c) Number of people did not have health insurance and lived in household earning less than $ 25000 = 7833
Percentage of the U.S. Population in 2015 did not have health insurance and live in household earning less than $ 25000 = (7833 / 353714)*100% = 2.21%
d) Percenatge of U.S. Population did not have health insurance or lived in household earning less than $ 25000         = Percnatge of people did not have health insuance + Percenatge of people lived in household earning less than $ 25000 - Percentage of the U.S. Population in 2015 did not have health insurance and live in household earning less than $ 25000 = 8.38% + (60822/353714)*100% - 2.21%
Percentage of U.S. population did not have health insurance or lived in household earning less than $ 25000 = 23.36%
e) Percentage of people did not have health insurance given that they lived in household earning less than $ 25000             = ( 7833/60822)*100% = 12.88%
f) Percenatge of people lived in household earning less than $ 25000 given that they did not have health insurance                  = ( 7833/29650)*100%=26.42%
