Answer:

The value is
P(O) = 0.3481

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The proportion of people that own a dog is
p = 0.59

The number of people selected is n = 2

Generally the probability that the people selected owns a dog is mathematically represented as


P(O) = p^n

=>
P(O) = 0.59^2

=>
P(O) = 0.3481
