The table shows the number of dogs and cats at a groomer .If a pet is selected at random to be groomed ,find the probability that Patches the cat will be selected.Then find the probability that a cat will be selected
Answer:
A - Probability of selecting the cat Patches = [tex]\frac{1}{28}[/tex]
B - Probability of selecting any cat = [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The table for the number of cats and dogs at the groomers is,
Cats      Dogs
12 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 16
Then, total number of animals = 12 + 16 = 28
Part 1: It is required to find the probability of selecting the particular cat named Patches.
Since, we have to select a particular cat.
So, probability of selecting the cat Patches = [tex]\frac{1}{28}[/tex]
Part 1: It is required to find the probability of selecting any cat.
So, probability of selecting any cat = [tex]\frac{12}{28}=\frac{3}{7}[/tex].
