Answer:

The probability is 1/36.

Explanation:

2/3 are dog owners

1/6 are cat owners

1/6 are bird owners

If you choose two owners, there is a 1/6 chance that you will choose a cat owner and a 1/6 chance you will choose a bird owner. Each of these are independent, so you simply multiply 1/6 by 1/6.

1/6 * 1/6= 1/36
