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.

Determine the measures of angles C and D.<br>​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

c = 40 and d = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

this is going to take me a long time to explain but here we go

so you need to do 180 - 116 and get 64.

then create a equation that is like this 7y + 6 + 4y + 64 = 180

when you solve it you get y = 10

then plug in 10 in for y in 4y. and you get 40 for c

do the same for d and you will get 76

pls mark me brainleist because i didnt waster your time.
