5 0.025
If a couple is selected at random, what is the probability that the couple will have
a. Less than 4 children?
1-(0.050+0.025) = 0.925
---------------------------------
b. More than 2 children?
1-[0.05 + 0.125] = 0.82.5
------------------------------
c. Either 2 or 3 children?
0.60+0.15 = 0.75
