Answer 1

Hence the probability of getting white female puppy = 0.25

Explanation:

Ruby has 8 puppies.The puppies include white females 3 mixed color females 1 white male and 2 mixed color males .

Ruby wants to keep one puppy .She randomly chooses a puppy. We have to find the probability of she getting a white female puppy.

Since there are a total of 8 puppies, there are 2 white females in total.

Probability of getting white female puppy =
`(white female puppies)/(total number of puppies)`

=
`(2)/(8)`

= 0.25

Hence the probability of getting white female puppy = 0.25
