Question

Of the 250 cats in a local cat show, 73 are orange, 11 are white, 80 are black, 27 are calico, 50 are gray, and 9 are tuxedo. To the nearest thousandth, what is the probability a

randomly selected cat from the show will be gray or tuxedo?

Answer 1

`0.236`

Explanation:

The total number of cats in a local cat show is 250

Of these, 73 are orange, 11 are white, 80 are black, 27 are calico, 50 are gray, and 9 are tuxedo.

The probability of a

randomly selected cat from the show will be gray or tuxedo is

`= (50)/(250) + (9)/(250)`

We simplify to get:

`= (50 + 9)/(250)`

`= (59)/(250)`

`= 0.236`
