Conditional Probabilities — Quiz

Question 7 • Algebra II

A recent survey has shown that 68 percent of professional photos are of humans, 39 percent are of pets, and 17 percent are of both humans and pets. Suppose a professional photo is selected at random and it is of a human. What is the probability that the photo also has a pet?

Answer
A
0 point 4 4
B
0 point 3 9
C
0 point 1 7
D
0 point 2 5

Explanation

Use conditional probability: among photos of humans, the fraction that also show pets is the percentage showing both divided by the percentage showing humans. So the probability is 17% ÷ 68% = 0.25. The correct choice is D, 0.25.
