By the way, love the name! and give me a sec to figure it out

Thanks!

I got D and i will explain why

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the experiment property of drawing a cat is 35% Experimental because its the result of a trial. So what do you think the experimental probability of it NOT being a cat is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

65%

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- remembering that all probabiliies must add up to 100%.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B/c the prob of getting a cat is 35/100...35%....100-35=65...so you get 65%

OpenStudy (welshfella):

its not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie but is it experimental or theoretical?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

experimental

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you!

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yw B is correct
