∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ To find the probability that the next dad to join the club will have fewer than 3 children, we need to sum the frequencies of dads with 1 and 2 children. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ The frequency for 1 child is 6 and for 2 children is 4. So, the total frequency for fewer than 3 children is $6 + 4 = 10$. ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ Next, we find the total frequency of all members in the club by summing the frequencies for all numbers of children: $6 + 4 + 8 + 1 + 1 = 20$. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ The probability is then the ratio of the frequency for fewer than 3 children to the total frequency of all members: $\frac{10}{20} = 0.5$. ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ Converting this probability to a percentage gives us $0.5 imes 100\% = 50\%$. ‖ ∻1 Answer∻ ***C*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Probability as a Ratio⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The probability of an event is calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.⚹◊What is the formula to calculate the probability that the next dad to join the Dads Club has fewer than 3 children based on the provided frequency table⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
