(a) The probability of selecting a family that prepared their own taxes is 0.50.

(b) The probability of selecting 2 families that prepared their own taxes is 0.2368.

(d) The probability of selecting 2 families such that neither of which had their taxes prepared by H&R Block is 0.7158.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of families living in the Will brook Farms Development is, N = 20.

The number of families that prepared their own federal income taxes is, n (O) = 10

The number of families that had their taxes prepared by a local professional is, n (L) = 7

The number of families that had their taxes prepared by H&R Block is, n (H) = 3.

(a)

Compute the probability of selecting a family that prepared their own taxes as follows:

$P(O)=\frac{n(O)}{N} =\frac{10}{20}=0.50$

Thus, the probability of selecting a family that prepared their own taxes is 0.50.

(b)

Compute the probability of selecting 2 families that prepared their own taxes as follows:

P (2 families ∩ O) = P (1st family ∩ O) + P (2nd family ∩ O)

$=\frac{10}{20}\times\frac{9}{19} \\=0.2368$

Thus, the probability of selecting 2 families that prepared their own taxes is 0.2368.

(c)

Compute the probability of selecting 3 families that prepared their own taxes as follows:

P (3 families ∩ O) = P (1st family ∩ O) + P (2nd family ∩ O)

+ P (3rd family ∩ O)

$=\frac{10}{20}\times\frac{9}{19}\times\frac{8}{18} \\=0.1053$

Thus, the probability of selecting 3 families that prepared their own taxes is 0.1053.

(d)

Compute the probability of selecting 2 families such that neither of which had their taxes prepared by H&R Block as follows:

P (2 families ∩ not H) = P (1st family ∩ not H) + P (2nd family ∩ not H)

= [1 - P (1st family ∩ H)] + [1 - P (2nd family ∩ H)]

$=[1-\frac{3}{20}]\times[1-\frac{2}{19}]\\=\frac{17}{20}\times\frac{16}{19}\\=0.7158$

Thus, the probability of selecting 2 families such that neither of which had their taxes prepared by H&R Block is 0.7158.
