      5. If a family has three pets, what is the theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats?

DANZANIXETY06:

i rather have 3 dogs g🙂

xxDeppressionxx:

There is 1 family that has 3 pets all you need to do is 1/3+1/3

DANZANIXETY06:

it would be 1/27 chance the family would hve a dog

xxDeppressionxx:

Because 3 cats or 3 dogs

DANZANIXETY06:

yep 📟

xxDeppressionxx:

I meant 1/3 *1/3

Ferrari:

You got 1/3 from 1 family and 3 dogs. You got 1/3 from 1 family and 3 cats. And you got 1/3 from 1 family and 3 chances. After you multiply them together you would get a fraction which is 1/27

xxDeppressionxx:

You got it?

Ferrari:

The theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats is 1/27?

xxDeppressionxx:

Well i thought it should have been (1 family and 3 dogs) Then (1 family and 3 cats) And then you would multiply them and get (1/9)

Ferrari:

The theoretical probability that they have three dogs or three cats is 1/9????

xxDeppressionxx:

Calculate the total number of probabilities by the number of pets which would be three. All you need is the probabilities which are ???

FantasticlyArtsy:

They could have 2 cats and one dog or the opposite way around
