Question

In a blind taste test, three panelists tasted five pizza brands—Godfather's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, zpizza and Ledo Pizza. All three panelists rated Godfather’s pizza dead last. What’s the probability that this outcome happened purely by chance?

Answer 1

0.008

Explanation:

The probability of picking each pizza brand randomly = 1/5

Assuming three panelist are independent of each other we multiply them together

1/5*1/5*1*5 = 1/125

= 0.008

This means it is very unlikely to happen at random. The owner of Godfather pizza should assume that there was something wrong with his pizza or he was just unlucky
