Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:

  • 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
  • 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).

Hence:

p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.
