Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?
