Expert Solution
Step 1

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.

14.

a.

The row and column totals are,

  0 Pets 1 Pet 2 Pets 3 + Pets Total
Male respondents 5 10 5 2 22
Female respondents 10 13 6 2 31
Total 15 23 11 4 53

The value of Pmale|2 pets is,

Pmale|2 pets=Pmale2 petsP2 pets=5531153=511=0.4545

Thus, the value of Pmale|2 pets is 0.4545.
