Answer:

p(X> 6 ) = 0.01132 + 0.01672 = 0.0280

           

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the US woman would have more than six children is equal to the probability that she would have children that are equal to 7 or that she would that she would have children equal to 8 or more as shown on the table in the question

Now representing this mathematically we have

                     p(X > 6) = p(x =7 ) + p(x = 8 or more)

    From the table the p(x = 7 ) [tex]= \frac{523}{46165} = 0.01132[/tex]

     And the p(x= 8 or more ) [tex]= \frac{772}{46165} = 0.01672[/tex]

Hence  p(X> 6 ) = 0.01132 + 0.01672 = 0.0280
