Respuesta :

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.6087 = 60.87% probability of a puppy having no spots.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, that is:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T}[/tex]

In this problem:

  • There are 6 + 8 + 4 + 5 = 23 puppies, thus [tex]T = 23[/tex].
  • 6 +8 = 14 have no spots, thus [tex]D = 14[/tex]

Then, the probability is:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{14}{23} = 0.6087[/tex]

0.6087 = 60.87% probability of a puppy having no spots.
