Question

In the United States, 30% of people own a cat and 3% of people own a bird. What is the probability of someone owning both a cat and a bird?

Answer 1

Answer: 9/100

Explanation:

Probability of people own a cat:

P(cat)=30/100=0.3

Probability of people own a bird:

P(bird)=3/100=0.03

Probability of both own a cat and a bird

P(cat and bird)=(30/100) × (3/100)

=90/1000=9/100=9%
