During an influenza epidemic, we note that in a household of mother, father and two children, the probability that mother gets influenza is 10%. Furthermore, we see that the probability that father get influenza is also 10% while the probability that both mother and father get influenza is 2%. For the children, we assume a probability of 20% that each child will get influenza and a probability of 10% that both children get the disease at the same time. (a) Are the events that mother and father get influenza independent of each other? (b) What is the probability that at least one child will get influenza? (c) What is the conditional probability that the father has influenza given the the mother has influenza? 5 (d) What is the conditional probability that one child has influenza given that the other child does not have influenza?

Answer:

i could only work out (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(MOTHER) = 0.10 P(FATHER) = 0.10 P(MOTHER AND FATHER)= 0.02 P(FIRST CHILD) = 0.20 P(SECOND CHILD) = 0.20 P(FIRST CHILD AND SECOND CHILD) = 0.10 So, we get: P(MOTHER) X P(FATHER) = 0.10X 0.10 = 0.01 Since P(MOTHER) X P(FATHER) = 0.01 P(MO
