Respuesta :

Answer:

Hence the probability of getting white female puppy = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruby has 8 puppies.The puppies include white females 3 mixed color females 1 white male and 2 mixed color males .

Ruby wants to keep one puppy .She randomly chooses a puppy. We have to find the probability of she getting a white female puppy.

Since there are a total of 8 puppies, there are 2 white females in total.

Probability of getting white female puppy = [tex]\frac{white female puppies}{total number of puppies}[/tex]

                                                            = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]

                                                            = 0.25

Hence the probability of getting white female puppy = 0.25
