Question

A pet store has 10 cats, 9 dogs, and 8 turtles. If Mario randomly selects a pet to take home, determine his Theoretical Probability of selecting a cat or a dog.

Answer 1

Let's see what to do buddy...

Explanation:

_________________________________

STEP (1)

We have to know how many pets does the pet store have.

Look : 10 + 9 + 8 = 27

So the pet store completely have 27 pets.

_________________________________

STEP (2)

Mario randomly selects a pet :

`(10)/(27) \\`

Is the Probability of selecting a cat.

##############################

`(9)/(27) \\`

Is the Probability of selecting a dog.

_________________________________

STEP (3)

(( or )) in mathematics means plus (( + )) .

So the Probability of selecting a cat or a dog means :

`(10)/(27) + (9)/(27) = (19)/(27) \\`

STEP (4)

There's no STEP 4.

And we're done.
