Question

select the correct answer from the drop - down menu.
the table shows the results from a survey of 335 randomly selected households with pets. this survey was conducted by a new pet store that is
opening nearby.
the pet store uses the data to make decisions about inventory. complete the given statement.
a customer is more likely to have 1 pet and no children than they are to have
reset
2 pets and children
3 pets and no children
3 pets and children

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate probability of 1 pet and no children

Probability formula: \(P=\frac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}\).
Favorable = 53, Total = 335.
\(P_1=\frac{53}{335}\approx0.158\)

Step2: Calculate probability of 2 pets and children

Favorable = 85, Total = 335.
\(P_2=\frac{85}{335}\approx0.254\)

Step3: Compare probabilities

Since \(0.158<0.254\), the statement is false.

Answer:

The statement "A customer is more likely to have 1 pet and no children than they are to have 2 pets and children" is False.
