Answer:
The value is [tex]P(O) = 0.3481[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The proportion of people that own a dog is [tex]p = 0.59[/tex]
Generally the probability of the two selected people owning a dog is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]P(O) = p^2[/tex]
[tex]P(O) = (0.59 )^2[/tex]
[tex]P(O) = 0.3481[/tex]
