Question

A Shelter has a 62 % Adoption rate for animals . 74% of the animals lived for 3 years or more. Of all the animals that lived 3  years or more, 85% were adopted, what is the probability that a randomly selected animal will get adopted and lived for 3 years or more?


Answer 1

P(adoption) = 0.62

P(lived for 3 years or more) = 0.74

P(adopted | lived 3 years or more) = 0.85

P(animal will get adopted and lived for 3 years or more) = P(adopted | lived 3 years or more) * P(lived for 3 years or more)

                                               = 0.85 * 0.74

                                               = 0.629
