Suppose 70 of the families in a certain town have children 3
Suppose 70% of the families in a certain town have children, 30% of the families have children under 6 years old, and 60% have children who are 6 years or older. What percentage of families have children both over 6 and under 6?
Please help me with this problem. Show me how to solve it, thank you
Solution
Define A = families who have children under 6 years old
Define B = families who have children who are 6 years or older
P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)= 0.3 + 0.6 - 0.7 =0.2
=> 20% of families have children both over 6 and under 6
