Question

A survey was conducted in which 125 families were asked how many cats lived in 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? a) The probability that a randomly selected household has one cat is (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? Classical probability Empirical probability Subjective probability

Explanation / Answer

a) The probability that a randomly selected house has one cat = 30/125 = 0.24

b) The probability that a randomly selected house has more than one cat = (16+7+4)/125 = 0.216

c) The probability that a randomly selected house has cats = 1 - The probability that a randomly selected house has 0 cat

= 1 - 68/125

= 0.456

d) Emperical probability
