Question

in a given week, a veterinarian treated the animals in the accompanying table. use this information to complete parts (a) through (c).

a) determine the empirical probability that the next animal the veterinarian treats is a dog.
b) determine the empirical probability that the next animal the veterinarian treats is a rabbit.
c) determine the empirical probability that the next animal the veterinarian treats is a bird.

a) p(dog) = (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Calculate total number of animals treated

$$ \text{Total} = 35 + 40 + 15 + 10 = 100 $$

Determine empirical probability for part a

$$ P(\text{dog}) = \frac{35}{100} = \frac{7}{20} $$

Determine empirical probability for part b

$$ P(\text{rabbit}) = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10} $$

Determine empirical probability for part c

$$ P(\text{bird}) = \frac{15}{100} = \frac{3}{20} $$

Answer:

Question 1

a) \(P(\text{dog}) =\) <blank>\(\frac{7}{20}\)</blank>

Question 2

b) \(P(\text{rabbit}) =\) <blank>\(\frac{1}{10}\)</blank>

Question 3

c) \(P(\text{bird}) =\) <blank>\(\frac{3}{20}\)</blank>
