Please help me answer this following questions. 1) Hyperlipidemia in children has been hypothesized to be related to high cholesterol in their parents. The following data were collected on parents and children. Both Parents CHILD One Parent Neither Parent Hyperlipidemic Hyperlipidemic Hyperlipidemic Not Hyperlipidemic 23 49 73 Hyperlipidemic 35 30 20 a. What is the probability that one or both parents are hyperlipidemic? b. What is the probability that the child and both parents are hyperlipidemic? c. What is the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic lF neither of his/her parents are hyperlipidemic? d. What is the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic IF both of his/her parents are hyperlipidemic?

Explanation / Answer

we will add all values we get total = 230

a) What is the probability that one or both parents are hyperlipidemicP(one or both parents are hyperlipidemic) = (58+79)/230 = 137/230 = 0.595

b) What is the probability that the child and both parents are hyperlipidemic?P(child and both parents are hyperlipidemic) = 35/230 = 0.152

c.What is the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic IF neither of his/her parents arehyperlipidemic?P(child is hyperlipidemic | neither parent is hyperlipidemic) = 20/93 = 0.215

d) What is the probability that a child is hyperlipidemic IF both of his/her parents arehyperlipidemic?P(child is hyperlipidemic | both parents are hyperlipidemic) = 35/58 = 0.603
