Answer:

0 students have a cat and 92 students have a dog

The probability that a student is chosen randomly from the class has a cat or a dog is 15/20.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events. The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

The class has a cat and a dog = 9

Has a dog and does not have a cat = 2

Does not have a dog and has a cat = 4

Does not have dog and cat = 5

The total strength of the class is 20

The probability that a student is chosen randomly from the class has a cat or a dog =  Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

P(E) = 15 /20

Hence, The probability that a student is chosen randomly from the class has a cat or a dog is 15/20.
