Question

Last week a pizza restaurant sold 36 cheese pizzas, 64 pepperoni pizzas, and 20 veggie pizzas. Based on these data, what is the probability that the next customer will buy a cheese pizza? Determine the likelihood of this event.

Answer 1

Supposing the same rates, the likelihood of a customer choose a cheese pizza can be calculated by the number of times cheese pizzas were chosen divided by the total of pizzas, so:

`P=(36)/(36+64+20)=(36)/(120)=(3)/(10)`

So, the lokelihood of this event is 3/10, or 30%.
