Answer:
52% probability that a randomly selected puppy in the shelter will get adopted and live 7 or more years
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: A puppy is adopted.
Event B: The puppy lives 7 or more years.
An animal shelter has a 65% adoption rate for puppies
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.65[/tex]
Of the puppies who are adopted, 80% live to be 7 years or older.
This means that [tex]P(B|A) = 0.8[/tex]
What is the probability that a randomly selected puppy in the shelter will get adopted and live 7 or more years
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B|A)[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.65*0.8[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.52[/tex]
52% probability that a randomly selected puppy in the shelter will get adopted and live 7 or more years
