Question

A group of people were asked if they owned a dog. 201 responded "yes", and 276 responded "no".Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they own a dog. Three multiple choices below (fractions)201____477********* 75___201 ********* 201___276

Answer 1

ANSWER

a) 201/477

EXPLANATION

The experimental probability of event A where a person chosen at random from the group owns a dog is the quotient between number of people who own a dog and the total number of people surveyed:

$P(A)=\frac{201}{201+276}=\frac{201}{477}$

So the answer is option A
