There is a 50% probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a cat.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a household has a cat.

B is the probability that a household has a dog.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a household has a cat but not a dog and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a household has both a cat and a dog.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

The probability that the household has a cat or a dog is 0.5

$a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.5$

The probability that the household has a dog is 0.4

B = 0.4

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$b = 0.4 - (A \cap B)$

The probability that the household has a cat is 0.2.

A = 0.2

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$a = 0.2 - (A \cap B)$

$a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.5$

$0.2 - (A \cap B) + 0.4 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) = 0.5$

$A \cap B = 0.1$

What is the probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a cat?

20% of the households have a cat, and 10% have both a cat and a dog. So

$P = \frac{A \cap B}{A} = {0.1}{0.2} = 0.5$

There is a 50% probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a cat.

What’s the question?
Max points i can ! it’s in math because i trust the math people more.

Answer from: Quest

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

Malia is observing the velocity of a cyclist at different times. after two hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 15 km/h. after five hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 12 km/h. part a: write an equation in two variables in the standard form that can be used to describe the velocity of the cyclist at different times. show your work and define the variables used. (5 points) part b: how can you graph the equations obtained in part a for the first 12 hours? (5 points) if you can try and make this as little confusing as you can
