P(30 to 39) 0.618 (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
b. Randomly selecting a mother not 30-39 years old
P(not 30 to 39) 0.382 (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
c. Randomly selecting a mother less than 45 years old
P(less than 45) 0.964 (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

2. Explain why the statement is incorrect.
The probability of rain tomorrow is 136%.
What makes the statment incorrect?
A. An event needs to have more than one possible outcome.
B. The probability of an event must be contained in the interval [1,100].
C. The probability of an event cannot exceed 100%.
D. The chance of rain is always more than 100%.
3. What is the difference between an observational study and an experiment?
Choose the correct answer below.
A. In an experiment, a treatment is applied to part of a population and responses are observed.
In an observational study, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of a part of a
population but does not change existing conditions.
B. In an experiment, a treatment is applied to an entire population and responses are observed.
In an observational study, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of an entire
population but does not change existing conditions.
C. In an experiment, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of a part of a population
but does not change existing conditions. In an observational study, a treatment is applied to
part of a population and responses are observed.
D. In an experiment, a researcher measures characteristics of interest of an entire population
but does not change existing conditions. In an observational study, a treatment is applied to
an entire population and responses are observed.
