Question

A survey was conducted in which 125 families were asked how many cats lived ina) The probability that a randomly selected household has one cat is their households. The results are shown below a) What is the probability that a randomly selected family has one cat? b) What is the probability that a randomly selected family has more than one cat? c) What is the probability that a randomly selected family has cats? d) Is this an example of classical, empirical, or subjective probability? (Simplify your answer.) b) The probability that a randomly selected family has more than one cat is (Simplify your answer.) c) The probability that a randomly selected family has cats is (Simplify your answer.) d) Is this an example of classical, empirical, or subjective probability? Number of Cats 0 Number of Households 30 12 6 2 O Empirical probability O subjective probability 4 Total 125 Classical probability

Explanation / Answer

a) P(1 cat) =30/125=0.24

b) P(more than 1 cat)=1-P(1 or less than 1 cat)=1-(P(0 cat)+P(1 cat))=1-(74/125+30/125)=0.168

c) P( has cat)=1-P(0 cat)=1-74/125=0.408

d) Emipircal probability
