Every year, the vetrinary hospital at a major research university treats a number of horses that have stones called enteroliths in their guts. AS sample of 20 years shows that on average about 2% of horses presenting at the veterinary hospital are treated for enteroliths. Some breeds of horses seem more prone to developing enteroliths than others. Below is a table with the distribution of enteroliths among the breeds. breed Fijian Thoroughbred Morgan Quarter Horse probability 0.4 0.2 0.3 ? The probability that a horse arriving at the veterinary hospital is not a Fijian, Thoroughbred, or a Quarter horse is?

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?
