Question

A farm has 6 chickens, 4 ducks, 2 pigs and 4 cows. If an animal is chosen at random, find P(Cow | 2 legs).

1: 2/3
2: 0
3: 1
4: 3/8

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a cow given the condition of having 2 legs is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find P(Cow | 2 legs), we need to calculate the conditional probability of selecting a cow given that the animal chosen has 2 legs.

Out of all the animals on the farm, only chickens have 2 legs. So the probability of selecting a chicken given 2 legs is 6/16.

Since there are no cows with 2 legs on the farm, the probability of selecting a cow given 2 legs is 0.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2: 0.
