Answer:
Correct choice is D
Step-by-step explanation:
Among 18 dogs 6 of the dogs are male, then 18-6=12 are female. Therefore,
[tex]\dfrac{12}{18}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the dogs are female.
If the species and sex of the animals are independent, then [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of all cats are female. A local animal shelter currently has 24 cats, then the number of cats that are female is
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot 24=16.[/tex]
