Your instructor's cat, Pepper, has two types of toys she likes to play with: catnip mice and crinkle balls.
Suppose one out of every 5 toys Pepper has are mice. Pepper sometimes likes to chase her toys when they
are thrown for her. If a crinkle ball is thrown for her, she will chase it 12.9% of the time (all other times she

the rest of the time).
Use this information to answer the following questions.
