Question

Eric owns a restaurant. He has 3 chefs, 2 line cooks, and 6 servers that work for him. If Eric randomly selects an employee,what is the probability that it is a server?• Give your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

The probability it is a server is 6/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3+2+6 = 11 employees in the restaurant.

From the 11 employees, 6 are servers.

The probability that an event A occurs is:

P(A) = number of favorable outcomes to A / number of total outcomes

In this exercise,

P(A) = Probabilty a randomly selected employee is a server

P(A) = 6/11.

The probability a randomly selected employee is a server is 6/11.
