- The use of "average" and "two-fifths"
in the first paragraph to describe children with one or no decayed
teeth is a bit unusual. What percentage or fraction do you think
would represent the "average group"?
- Sketch what a pie chart might look like if it were representing
the percentage of children with no decayed teeth, one, and more
than one.

the relationship of tooth decay and fluoridated water as Pr(A|B)
= n x Pr(A|C).
Carefully define A, B and C.
