Question

If a randomly selected orphaned pet in a St. Louis animal shelter is a dog of one the types shown in the table, what is the probability that it is a mastiff?

Answer 1

B = 21.04%

Explanation:

We are given that it is a dog in St Louis

Add up the percents of dogs in St Louis for a total

2.65+2.46+3.67+2.97

The total is 11.69

To find the probability that it is a mastiff

P (mastiff) = % mastiff/ % total

2.46/11.69

=.21043627

21.04%
