In a certain community, 36 percent of the families own a dog and 22 percent of the families that own a dog also own a cat. in addition, 30 percent of the families own a cat. what is (a) the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat? (b) the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat?

 a) 0.0792   b) 0.264

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Event D = Families own a dog .

Event C = families own a cat .

Given : Probability that families own a dog : P(D)=0.36

Probability that families own a dog also own a cat : P(C|D)=0.22

Probability that families own a cat : P(C)= 0.30

a) Formula to find conditional probability :

  (1)

Similarly ,

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat : 0.0792

b) Again, using (2)

Hence, the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat = 0.264
