Premature aging gene. Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a<br>neurological disorder that weakens immune systems and<br>causes premature aging. Science News reports that when<br>both members of a couple carry the A-T gene, their chil-<br>dren have a 1 in 5 chance of developing the disease.<br>1.<br>a. Consider 15 couples in which both members of each<br>couple carry the A-T gene. What is the probability that<br>more than 8 of 15 couples have children that develop<br>the neurological disorder?<br>b. Consider 10,000 couples in which both members<br>of each couple carry the A-T gene. Is it likely that fewer<br>than 3,000 will have children that develop the disease?<br>
