Question

The probabilty of being born a male is 0.466. The probabilty of being born in north america is 0.153846. The probabilty of being born in an urban location is 0.3571428. Find the exact probabilty that a baby will be born a male, in North America, in an urban location

Answer 1

Answer:0.0256

Explanation:

Given

Probability of being a male is
`P_1=0.466`

Probability of being born in america is
`P_2=0.153846`

Probabilty of being born in an urban location is
`P_3=0.3571428`

So probabilty of that a baby will be born a male,in North america, in an urban area=P

Since,
`P_1, P_2, P_3` are independent of each other therefore

`P=P_1* P_2* P_3`

`P=(0.466)* (0.153846)* (0.3571428)`

`P=0.02560`
