Question

The manager of a restaurant determined that the odds against a customer ordering dessert are 11/2. What is the probability of a customer ordering dessert?

Answer 1

p=0.9450

Explanation:

-The probability of a customer not ordering dessert is 11/2 or 5.5%

-The probability of a customer ordering dessert is 1 minus the probability of not ordering dessert

`P(Ordering)=1-P(Not \ Ordering)\\\\=1-0.055\\\\=0.945\\\\`

Hence, the probability of ordering dessert is 0.945
