Answer 1

Given:

A table represents a survey to know if residents would like a dog.

a) What is an appropriate first step in finding the experimental probability that a household has 2 or more dogs?

The first step is to find the total households

So, the answer will be option C

Find the sum of the number of households for each category.

b) What is the experimental probability that a household has 2 or more dogs?

First, the total number of households = 513 + 218 + 129 = 860

And the number of households has 2 or more dogs = 129

So, the probability = 129/860 = 0.15 = 15%

So, the answer will be 15%
