In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students have a cat or a dog. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class does not have a cat or a dog? Has a cat Does not have a cat Has a dog Does not have a dog 11
Compound Probability
Compound probability can be defined as the probability of the two events which are independent. It can be defined as the multiplication of the probability of two events that are not dependent.
Tree diagram
Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the subject of probability. Although there are many different concepts of probability, probability theory expresses the definition mathematically through a series of axioms. Usually, these axioms express probability in terms of a probability space, which assigns a measure with values ranging from 0 to 1 to a set of outcomes known as the sample space. An event is a subset of these outcomes that is described.
Conditional Probability
By definition, the term probability is expressed as a part of mathematics where the chance of an event that may either occur or not is evaluated and expressed in numerical terms. The range of the value within which probability can be expressed is between 0 and 1. The higher the chance of an event occurring, the closer is its value to be 1. If the probability of an event is 1, it means that the event will happen under all considered circumstances. Similarly, if the probability is exactly 0, then no matter the situation, the event will never occur.

In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students have a cat or a dog. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class does not have a cat or a dog?
| | Has a cat | Does not have a cat |
|--------------------|-----------|---------------------|
| **Has a dog** | 9 | 2 |
| **Does not have a dog** | 6 | 11 |

### Explanation:
The given two-way table displays the distribution of students based on two categories: owning a cat and owning a dog. The table is structured as follows:
**Rows:**
- The first row indicates whether the student has a cat.
- The second row includes whether the student does not have a cat.
**Columns:**
- The 'Has a dog' column indicates the number of students who have a dog.
- The 'Does not have a dog' column indicates the number of students who do not have a dog.
**Intersection of Rows and Columns:**
- The cell at the intersection of 'Has a cat' and 'Has a dog' contains 9, meaning 9 students have both a cat and a dog.
- The cell at the intersection of 'Has a cat' and 'Does not have a dog' contains 2, meaning 2 students have a cat but not a dog.
- The cell at the intersection of 'Does not have a cat' and 'Has a dog' contains 6, indicating 6 students have a dog but not a cat.
- The cell at the intersection of 'Does not have a cat' and 'Does not have a dog' contains 11, representing 11 students who do not have either a cat or a dog.
### To Solve:
- To find the total number of students, sum all the cells in the table:
Total students = 9 (cat + dog) + 2 (cat only) + 6 (dog only) + 11 (neither)
Total students = 28
- To find the probability that a randomly chosen student does not have a cat or a dog, use the value in the cell 'Does not have a cat' and 'Does](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2a504ba1-c0f0-4a58-ab8f-840a9b2a22b2%2F5b42585e-6522-461d-9e5d-b519cd52a264%2Ftky50apo_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

## Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
A right triangle is shown with two sides labeled as '11'. You're tasked with finding the length of the hypotenuse (the third side).
### Diagram Description:
- Right triangle with both legs (perpendicular sides) of the triangle marked as 11 units each.
- The hypotenuse (opposite the right angle) is the side you need to find.
### Solution:
To find the length of the hypotenuse (c) in a right triangle with legs (a) and (b), use the Pythagorean Theorem:
\[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \]
Given:
\[ a = 11 \]
\[ b = 11 \]
Calculate:
\[ c = \sqrt{11^2 + 11^2} \]
\[ c = \sqrt{121 + 121} \]
\[ c = \sqrt{242} \]
Finally:
\[ c \approx 15.6 \]
