Question

Heart disease was the leading cause of death for women in the United​ States, killing​ 292,188 women in​ 2009-that was approximately one in every four female deaths.

What is the chance of two non-related women in a row both having heart disease?

Answer 1

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

For deaths, approx. 1/4 * 1/4 = ?

For getting heart disease

(292,188/total female population in US)^2 = ?

Answer 2
