GSS2012* >> data link : https://1drv.ms/f/s!An-ZI1II9Wjucw1y1PO-3QLn1uI A13.19. GSS2012" The survey asked respondents the following question, "A doctor tells a couple that there is one chance in four that their child will have an inherited disease. Does this mean that if the first child has the illness, the next three will not? (ODDS 1:1 = Yes, 2 = No, 8 = Don't know, 9 No answer)?" The correct answer is 2. Is there sufficient evidence to infer that Republicans are more likely to answer this question correctly than Democrats (PARTY!D3: 1 = Democrat, 3 = Republican)?

Explanation / Answer

No this does not mean that if the first child has it the next three wont. It only means that probability that any child having that inherited disease is given as: 1/4 = 0.25

Therefore No is the correct answer here.

Note that the second part only options are given ( no question is given in there )
