1.1)  What is the probability that all of them dislike their mother-in-law (rounded off to three decimals)?

       = 0.1678.



1.2)  What is the probability that at most two of the married women like their mother-in-law


      {at most 2 like}  means  {0,  1  or 2 like} . . . 

       =  = 0.7969   (rounded)



1.3)  What is the probability that more than four but less than seven married women dislike their mother-in-law


     {more than 4 but less than 7 dislike} is equivalent to {5 or 6  dislike} 

      =  = 0.4404   (rounded)
