Answer:

0.64

Explanation:

To find the probability that a customer ordered a medium-sized drink, given that they ordered a hot drink, we need to use the conditional probability formula:


\sf P(medium\:|\:hot)=(P(medium\;and\;hot))/(P(hot))

The number of customers that order a drink that is medium-sized and hot is 48. Therefore:


\sf P(medium\;and\;hot)=(48)/(100)=0.48

The total number of customers that order a drink that is hot is 75. Therefore:


\sf P(hot)=(75)/(100)=0.75

Substitute these values into the conditional probability formula:


\begin{aligned}\sf P(medium\:|\:hot)&=\sf (P(medium\;and\;hot))/(P(hot))\\\\&=\sf (0.48)/(0.75)\\\\&=\sf 0.64\end{aligned}

Therefore, the probability that a customer ordered a medium-sized drink given that they ordered a hot drink is 0.64.
