Question

A local Pet Shelter has 4 orange cats and 7 black cats. What is probability of selecting a black cat? Please enter your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

We are asked to find the probability of selecting a black cat.

By formula,

`Probability=\frac{number\text{ of required outcomes}}{total\text{ possible outcomes}}`

Thus,

`P(B)=\frac{number\text{ of black cats}}{total\text{ number of cats}}=(7)/(11)`

Therefore, the correct answer is 7/11
