A) the total probability has to equal 1.
To find the probability of rat subtract the other animals from1:
Rat = 1 - 0.35-0.4-0.1 = 0.15
Rat = 0.15
B) probability of cat or hamster equals the sum of their probabilities:
Cat = 0.35 + hamster = 0.1 = 0.45
Answer = 0.45
C) the probability of them both picking the same = dog x dog = 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16
Answer = 0.16
