Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Reaction type to sun | No freckles | Freckles |
I) Always reddens, never tans | 79 | 73 |
II) Always reddens, slight tan | 581 | 367 |
III) Sometimes reddens, always tans | 1025 | 324 |
IV) Never reddens, always tans | 1022 | 135 |
Calculation:
Let AR denotes always reddens.
SR denotes sometimes reddens.
NR denotes never reddens.
NT denotes never tans
ST denotes slight tans
AT denotes always tans
F denotes Freckles
NF denotes no freckles

Answer to Problem 16.18AT
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Calculation:
Number of children who had freckles
Total number of children
Number of children with type 1 reaction (always reddens, never tans)
Thus, probability of a child who had freckles is
The probability of type 1 reaction is
(c)
To compute: The probability of type 1 reaction given the child has freckles and vice- verca.
(c)
Answer to Problem 16.18AT
The probability of type 1 reaction given the child has freckles is
The probability of freckles given the child has type 1 reaction
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Using conditional theorem
Calculation:
Number of children who has type 1 reaction and freckles
From the above sub part (b),
Thus, the required probability is
