Question

there are some animals at a wild animal rescue. the animal type and their number are shown in the table below. use the table to answer the following question.
animal | number
chimpanzee | 16
bear | 7
bobcat | 5
wolf | 7
based on the data, if an animal were randomly picked to be the first one to have its food delivered, what is the probability that either a wolf or a bobcat would be chosen first?
options:
1/5
12/35
16/35
17/7

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el total de animales

Sumamos el número de cada tipo de animal: $16 + 7 + 5 + 7 = 35$.

Step2: Calcular el número de lobos o gatos monteses

Sumamos el número de lobos ($7$) y gatos monteses ($5$): $7 + 5 = 12$.

Step3: Calcular la probabilidad

La probabilidad es el número de lobos o gatos monteses dividido por el total de animales: $\frac{12}{35}$.

Answer:

$\frac{12}{35}$ (que corresponde a la opción 12/35)
