Okay so the problem is as follows :
A study of children in Caithness,Scotland classified them according to hair color. This table reports percentages based on 5387 children.
Fair=27%
Red=5.3%
Medium=39.7%
Dark=25.8%
Black=2.2%
1. What is the probability that the child will have red hair?
5387/5.3= 1016 will have red hair
2. What is the probability that the child will have either red or fair hair?
5387/32.3=167
3. What is the probability that the child will have neither dark nor black hair?
5387/72=75
4. What is the probability that the child will have Fair, Red, Medium, Dark, or black hair?
5387/100=54
Now thats how I did it, but I think I'm completely wrong. Can anyone please help me?
