Question

Pls help!!

In a sample of 100 high school students, 65 played an organized sport. 48 students have a dog as a pet. what is the probability that a randomly selected student has a dog and plays a sport?

Answer 1

The probability is 0.312

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that 65% plays a sport and 48% has a dog

The probability that a randomly selected student has a dog and plays a sport = P( of selecting a student that has a dog) * P( of selecting a student that plays a sport)

Mathematically, that will be;

65% * 48% = 0.65 * 0.48 = 0.312 or 31.2%
