Question
Use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains. Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table.
Drive-thru Restaurant / A / B / C / D Order Accurate / 20 / 42 / 43 / 21 Order Not Accurate / 39 / 26 / 45 / 31
If one order is selected, find the probability of getting an accurate order given the order is from Restaurant A. Express your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Question
Use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains. Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table.
Drive-thru Restaurant / A / B / C / D Order Accurate / 24 / 19 / 58 / 44 Order Not Accurate / 5 / 10 / 9 / 14
If three different orders are selected, find the probability that they are all from restaurant B. Assume that the orders are selected with replacement. Express your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Part 1
The table is as follows
A | B | C | D | Total | |
Accurate | 20 | 42 | 43 | 21 | 126 |
Not Accurate | 39 | 26 | 45 | 31 | 141 |
Total | 59 | 68 | 88 | 52 | 267 |
We need to find If one order is selected, the probability of getting an accurate order given the order is from Restaurant A
P(accurate order/order is from A) = Number of accurate orders from A / Number of total orders from A
= 20/59 = 0.34
So, the answer is 34%
Part 2
Setting the table
A | B | C | D | Total | |
Accurate | 24 | 19 | 58 | 44 | 145 |
Not Accurate | 5 | 10 | 9 | 14 | 38 |
Total | 29 | 29 | 67 | 58 | 183 |
Since the orders are selected with replacement, the three events would be independent, not affecting the probability of each. They will have the same probability
Probability of selecting an order from B = No. of order from B/ Total orders
= 29/183
the probability that all three are from restaurant B = (29/183) * (29/183) * (29/183) = 0.00398
So, the answer is 0.4%
