Answer

P(two or more children under the age of 18 and both spouses work) $=\frac{37}{170}\approx0.218$

Work Step by Step

The sample space: 1700 married couples. So, N(S) = 1700 According to the cell in the third row, third column: N(two or more children under the age of 18 and both spouses work) = 350. P(two or more children under the age of 18 and both spouses work) = $\frac{N(\text{two or more children under the age of 18 and both spouses work})}{N(S)}=\frac{370}{1700}=\frac{37}{170}\approx0.218.$
