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

Answer:

$0.236$

Step-by-step 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

$= \frac{50}{250} + \frac{9}{250}$

We simplify to get:

$= \frac{50 + 9}{250}$

$= \frac{59}{250}$

$= 0.236$
