Suppose that 55% of people own dogs. If you pick two people at random, what is the probability that they both own a dog?

The probability to one person to be a dog owner is p=0.56 (because 56% of people own dogs) and the probability that one person is not dog owner is q=1-p=1-0.56=0.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing two people at random, there are such possibilities:

1. both are dog owners;

2. first owns a dog, second not;

3. first hasn't dog, second owns a dog;

4. both haven't dogs.

if you pick two people at random the probability that they both own a dog is 0.3136.

Hope this helps! :))

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
