Answer:
Let total number of dog and cat population in animal shelter be x.
As per the statement:
An animal shelter has 9 puppies.
⇒ Total number of puppies = 9
It is also given that if the puppies are 36% of the total dog and cat population.
⇒
or
By cross multiply we get;
Divide both sides by 36 we get;
Therefore, total number of dogs and cat population in animal shelter are 25
Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose
We have and
, because the dice are fair.
Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that
Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:
- 2 in a unique way (1+1)
- 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
- 4 in three possible ways
- 5 in three possible ways
- 6 in three possible ways
- 7 in two possible ways
- 8 in a unique way
This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5
