Total (n) = 26,

14 prepared their own federal income taxes,

8 had their taxes prepared by local professional,

4 H and R block.

a) Therefore 14/26 = 0.539 is the probability that of selecting a family that prepared their own taxes.

b) Therefore (14/26)*(13/25) = 0.28 is the probability that selecting two families, both of which prepared their own taxes.

c) Therefore (14/26)*(13/25)*(12/24)=0.14 is the probability that of selecting three families, all which prepared their own taxes.

d) 14+8= 22

Therefore (22/26)*(21/25) =0.711 is the probability that of selecting two families, neither of which had their taxes prepared by H&R block.
