Question

In a survey, 54 people indicated that they prefer cats, 162 indicated that they prefer dogs, and 40 indicated that they don't enjoy either pet. Find the probability that a randomly chosen person will prefer cats.

Answer 1

startby calculating the total amount of people that were in the survey

$54+162+40=256$

to find the probability check the favorable cases over the total cases

$\frac{54}{256}=\frac{27}{128}$
