A restaurant has total of 60 tables . Of those tables , 38 are round and 13 are located by the window . There are 6 round tables by the window . If tables are randomly assigned to customers , what is the probability that a customer will be seated at a round table or by the window

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability that a costumer will be seated at a round table are 44/60 and the probability that he will be seated by the window is 13/60

The probability that a customer will be seated at a round table is  [tex]\frac{19}{30}[/tex]  and  by the window is [tex]\frac{13}{60}[/tex].

What is Probability ?

Probability is a ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes of the experiment.

Probability [tex]=\frac{Number \ of\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ possible\ outcome}[/tex]

We have,

Total number of tables [tex]=60[/tex]

Number of round tables [tex]=38[/tex]

Number of tables located by the window [tex]=13[/tex]

Number of round tables located by the window [tex]=6[/tex]

Now,

Number of possible outcomes customer will be seated at a round table [tex]=38[/tex]

So,

Probability of seated at a round table [tex]=\frac{Number \ of\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ possible\ outcome}[/tex]

                                                                [tex]=\frac{38}{60}=\frac{19}{30}[/tex]

Now,

Number of possible outcomes customer will be seated by the window [tex]=13[/tex]

Probability  of seated by the window[tex]=\frac{Number \ of\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ possible\ outcome}[/tex]

                                                               [tex]=\frac{13}{60}[/tex]

So, probability that a customer will be seated at a round table is  [tex]\frac{19}{30}[/tex]  and  by the window is [tex]\frac{13}{60}[/tex].

Hence, we can say that the probability that a customer will be seated at a round table is  [tex]\frac{19}{30}[/tex]  and  by the window is [tex]\frac{13}{60}[/tex].
