do you see the link

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

focus on the "st louis" row only highlight the dog columns

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Add up those percentages and then divide the mastiff percentage by the total you previously got P(mastiff) = (mastiff percentage)/(sum of highlighted percentages)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did i do wrong i got 11.69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

helo?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P(mastiff) = (mastiff percentage)/(sum of highlighted percentages) P(mastiff) = (2.46)/(11.69) P(mastiff) = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
