Answer:
a = 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.
From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;
i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are<em> the right angle</em>
and <em>angle B</em>
Therefore, we can say that;
<em>Cross multiply</em>
a x a = 13 x 4
a² = 52
a = √52
a = 7.2
Note: The figure showing the similar triangles has also been attached to this response.
Answer: a) 0.0792 b) 0.264
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Event D = Families own a dog .
Event C = families own a cat .
Given : Probability that families own a dog : P(D)=0.36
Probability that families own a dog also own a cat : P(C|D)=0.22
Probability that families own a cat : P(C)= 0.30
a) Formula to find conditional probability :
(1)
Similarly ,
Hence, the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat : 0.0792
b) Again, using (2)
Hence, the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat = 0.264
