The total number of puppies can be gotten to be:
[tex]\Rightarrow8+6+9+4=27[/tex]
The number of puppies without spots will be:
[tex]\Rightarrow8+6=14[/tex]
Recall the probability definition and formula: A probability is the number of desired outcomes (D) divided by the number of total outcomes (T), that is:
[tex]P=\frac{D}{T}[/tex]
From what we have calculated earlier, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=14 \\ T=27 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability will be:
[tex]P=\frac{14}{27}=0.5185[/tex]
The probability is 14/27 or 0.5185.
