A restaurant has a 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:

45/60

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing this is the one from Plato/Edmentum. In that case, what I got was 45/60, doing some easy math, although it can be wrong.

Basically, there are 51 round-and/or-by-the-window tables. However, with what the question asks, we can safely minus six of the following tables. So we simply get 51-6=45 tables out of the total of 60.

There ya go...

The probability that a customer will be seated at a round table or by the window is ( 19 / 60 ).

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of sample

Given that a restaurant has a 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.

Probability of table by the window = 13 / 60

Probability of round table by the window = 6 / 60

The probability that a customer will be seated at a round table or by the window is,

[tex]P = \dfrac{13}{60}+\dfrac{6}{60}\\\\P = \dfrac{19}{60}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a customer will be seated at a round table or by the window is ( 19 / 60 ).
