Find the probability of the following: (Be sure to show all work)
I have a part time job in food industry and probability is very important on selling food items everyday. We sold 24 hamburger baskets and 16 had cheese on them, 24 baskets sold in total. 6 of the hamburger baskets were ordered to go. 10 of the cheeseburger baskets were ordered to go. If a hamburger basket or cheeseburger basket were selected at random, find the probability of A) It was a Hamburger basket to go B) It was a cheeseburger basket that was ordered to go.
Total basket sold = 24
Had cheese on them = 16
Only hamburger baskets = 24 - 16 = 8
Basket were ordered to go and was a hamburger basket = 6
Basket were ordered to go and was a cheeseburger basket = 10
A)
P[ It was a Hamburger basket to go ] = Hamburger baskets ordered to go / Only hamburger baskets
P[ It was a Hamburger basket to go ] = 6/8
P[ It was a Hamburger basket to go ] = 0.75
B)
P[ It was a cheeseburger basket that was ordered to go ] = Cheeseburger baskets ordered to go / Cheeseburger baskets
P[ It was a cheeseburger basket that was ordered to go ] = 10/16
P[ It was a cheeseburger basket that was ordered to go ] = 0.625
