Question

Q6. The following relative frequency distribution describes the household incomes for families living in a suburban community:

income                                                                Relative Frequency

less than $20,000                                                        0.10

$20,000-under$40,000                                                0.20

$40,000 -under$60,000                                                0.30

$60,000 - under$80,000                                                 0.25

$80,000 or more                                                           0.15

 

  1. a) For a randomly selected household, what is the probability that its annual income is less than $80,000?
  2. b) If a household is known to have an income of at least $20,000, what is the probability that its annual income is in the $60,000- under $80,000 category?
  3. c) Two households are randomly selected from those whose income is at least $40,000 per year.
  4. d) Given that the two household have incomes of at least $40,000 per year, what is the probability that both of these households are in the $80,000 or more category?
