    please help..

    1. Make the best possible estimate (to the nearest whole number) of the number of females of the entire population older than 24.
    2. Two persons are selected at random, one from Ocean Reef and one from Heathridge. What is the probability that both are between 5 and 54 years old?
    3. One person from each of the four suburbs is selected at random. Find the probability that all four persons are male.
    4. Consider all households in Joondalup and Ocean Reef. Make the best possible estimate of their median weekly household income rounded to the nearest dollar. (Do not include a $ sign in your answer, just the number.)

    1. Make the best possible estimate (to the nearest whole number) of the number of females of the entire population older than 24.

    Assuming that the distribution of males and females who are older than 24 is the same as the distribution of the whole population

    (55400 + 10858 + 10260) * 62678/124456 = 38536



    2. Two persons are selected at random, one from Ocean Reef and one from Heathridge. What is the probability that both are between 5 and 54 years old?

    Total number of people in Ocean Reef = 16180
    Number of people between 5 and 54 in Ocean Reef = 832 + 2690 + 2686 + 6964 = 13172
    Prob that the person selected from Ocean Reef is between 5 and 54 years old = 13172/16180

    Similarly, Prob that the one from Heathridge is between 5 and 54 years old = 34902/41292

    Prob that BOTH are between 5 and 54 years old = (13172/16180) * (34902/41292) = 0.0678



    3. One person from each of the four suburbs is selected at random. Find the probability that all four persons are male.

    Prob that the person picked from Joondalup is male = 25014/50520 = 0.495
    Prob that the person picked from Ocean Reef is male = 8118/16180 = 0.502
    Prob that the person picked from Heathridge is male = 20160 /41292 = 0.488
    Prob that the person picked from Beldon is male = 8036/16464 = 0.488

    Prob that all 4 are male = 0.495*0.502*0.488*0.488 = 0.059



    4. Consider all households in Joondalup and Ocean Reef. Make the best possible estimate of their median weekly household income rounded to the nearest dollar. (Do not include a $ sign in your answer, just the number.)

    Not too sure about this, my wild guess is (1160+1598)/2
