Question

Joanna Reininger is a dairy farmer. Her customers are 6 supermarkets and 2 restaurants. If one of them called to cancel an order, what are the chances the cancellation came from a supermarket?

Answer 1

Answer: Chances of cancellation came from a supermarket is given by

`(3)/(4)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of supermarkets are there = 6

Number of restaurants are there = 2

According to question,

if one of them called to cancel an order,

so, probability that the cancellation came from a supermarket is given by

`\frac{\text{Number of cancellation from a supermarket}}{\text{Number of cancellation from all}}=(6)/(8)=(3)/(4)`

Hence,

Chances of cancellation came from a supermarket is given by

`(3)/(4)`
