Answer:

Since we know that the probability that a randomly selected student has at least 1 household member who smokes is 0.421. Then the total who correspond to Cell 8 on this case is 0.421*1000 = 421

Explanation:

We assume the following table:

No Hou. smokes >=1 hou. smokes Total

______________________________________________________

Student indicates he Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3

or she has asthma

_______________________________________________________

Student indicates he

or she does not have Cell 4 Cell5 Cell 6

asthma

_______________________________________________________

Total Cell 7 Cell8 1000

We are assuming a grand total of 1000 people for this case

Since we know that the probability that a randomly selected student has at least 1 household member who smokes is 0.421. Then the total who correspond to Cell 8 on this case is 0.421*1000 = 421
