Solution

The correct option is D 56
P(student has at least one pet)=1P(student has no pets)

P(student has no pets)=20120=16

P(student has at least one pet)=116=56


Alternate Solution:–––––––––––––––––––––

Given:
Total number of students = 120
Number of students with exactly 1 pet = 46
Number of students with exactly 2 pets = 33
Number of students with exactly 3 pets = 21

To find: P(at least 1 pet)
Number of students with at least 1 pet = 46 + 33 + 21 = 100

P(at least 1 pet) =100120=56
