Answer:

I think that the actions of older people/family members around you greatly influence that thoughts/actions of a younger child. Since Marie looks up to Alice, Marie probably thinks that having a child at such a young age is a good idea. Therefore if Alice gave birth at the age of 15, there is a high chance her younger sister will follow in her footsteps.

(I'm not sure how this relates to math)
