Question

A restaurant says the probability of a customer ordering chicken is 1/4. A survey is conducted and 75 people said they prefer to order chicken. Predict how many total people were surveyed?

Answer 1

Answer: 300

Explanation:

Let the total number of people surveyed be represented by x.

Since we are informed that the probability of a customer ordering chicken is 1/4 and 75 people said they prefer to order chicken. This will then be:

1/4 of x = 75

1/4 × x = 75

x = 75 × 4

= 300

Therefore, 300 people were surveyed
