Answer:

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: having a cat.

Event B: having a dog.

12 of 27 students have a cat:

This means that P(A) = \frac{12}{27}

5 students who have a cat and a dog.

This means that P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{27}

What is the probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat?

P(B|A) = \frac{\frac{5}{27}}{\frac{12}{27}} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.4167

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

Vesnalui [34]
Any perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope. So your slope would be 2. The. You would have the equation : y=2x+b. You would then replace the coordinate (5,6) with x and y on your line to solve for b. Your equation would be : y=2x-4
