a) There is an 8% probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is over 6 feet tall and was a premature baby.

b) There is a 42% probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is not over 6 feet tall and was not a premature baby.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have these following probabilities:

-A 40% probability that a world class tennis player is over 6 feet tall.

-A 60% probability that a world class tennis player is not over 6 feet tall.

-A 20% probability that a world class tennis player over 6 feet tall was a premature baby. This also means that there is a 80% probability that a world class tennis player over 6 feet tall was not a premature baby

-A 30% probability that a world class tennis player who is not over 6 feet tall was a premature baby. This also means that there is a 70% probability that a world class tennis player who is not over 6 feet tall was not a premature baby.

a. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is over 6 feet tall and was a premature baby.

$P = P_{1}*P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that a random selected world class tennis player is over 6 feet tall. So

$P_{1} = 0.4$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that a world class tennis player over 6 feet tall was a premature baby. So

$P_{2} = 0.2$

$P = P_{1}*P_{2} = 0.4*0.2 = 0.08$

There is an 8% probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is over 6 feet tall and was a premature baby.

b. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is not over 6 feet tall and was not a premature baby

$P = P_{1}*P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that a random selected world class tennis player is not over 6 feet tall. So

$P_{1} = 0.6$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that a world class tennis player under 6 feet tall was not a premature baby. So

$P_{2} = 0.7$

$P = P_{1}*P_{2} = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42$

There is a 42% probability that a randomly selected world class tennis player is not over 6 feet tall and was not a premature baby.
