Explanation / Answer

P(woman has three children)=no of women having three children / total no of women = 7022/46157= 0.15213

P(woman has more than five children)= no of women having 6,7,8 or more children/total women=(925+524+777)/46157=0.04823

P(woman has more than 7 children)= no of women having 8 or more children/total women=777/46157=0.01683

P(woman has no children)=no of woman having 0 children / total woman= 12575/46157=0.27244>0.05

thus it is not unusual for a woman to have no children
