Question

q 28.) margaret asked her classmates how many pets they own. the responses are recorded in the table. find the probability that a classmate owns 1 or more pets. express your answer as a fraction.

number of pets	response
1 - 2	11
3 or more	5

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of responses

Add up all the response - values: $5 + 11+7=23$.

Step2: Calculate number of students with 1 or more pets

Add the number of students with 1 - 2 pets and 3 or more pets: $11 + 5=16$.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability $P$ is the number of favorable outcomes (students with 1 or more pets) divided by the total number of outcomes (total students surveyed). So $P=\frac{16}{23}$.

Answer:

$\frac{16}{23}$
