Question

Use the following information to answer questions (16)(18). Suppose that a recent poll of American households about pet ownership found that for households with a pet, 39% owned exactly a dog, 33% owned a cat, and 7% owned a bird. Suppose that three households are selected randomly and with replacement. 16. (Objective: Apply the probability rules]) What is the probability that all three randomly selected households own a cat? (Round to the nearest hundredth) a. 0.06 b. 0.03 c. 0.04 d. None of the above [Objective: Apply the probability rules] What is the probability that none of the three randomly selected households own a bird? (Round to the nearest hundredth) a. 0.80 b. 0.93 c. 0.86 d. None of the above 18. Objective: Apply the probability rules] What is the probability that at least one of the three randomly selected households own a dog?

Explanation / Answer

16)

P(all 3 owns cat)=0.33*0.33*0.33=0.04

option C

17)

P(none own a bird) =(1-0.07)3 =0.80

option A

18)

P(at least one own a dog) =1-P(none own a dog) =1-(1-0.39)3 =0.77

option B

19)

P(at least one question correct) =1-P(all are wrong) =1-(0.5)7 =0.99

option C
