To estimate a square root, find the two perfect squares the number is closest to, then continue with further decimals, i.e. if the question is square root of 5, it is between 4 and 9. As such, the answer is between 2 and 3. Alternatively, use a calculator for a quick estimation of many decimal points.
Answer: 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
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
