At Roberta’s cafe half of her regular customers order her famous low-fat chicken sandwich. The probability of a regular customer
ordering the chicken sandwich and losing weight last month was 40%. What is the probability of someone losing weight given that they regularly ordered the sandwich?
The probability of losing weigth given that the sandwich was ordered is 80%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a regular costumer ordering the sandwich is said to be 50% and the probability of someone ordering that sandwich and losing weight is 40%. So we the probability of someone losing weigth if the sandwich was ordered is:
sandwich and losing weigh = (ordering sandwich)*losing weigth
losing weigth = (sandwich and losing weigth)/(ordeing sandwich)
losing wiegh = 40%/0.5 = 80%
The probability of losing weigth given that the sandwich was ordered is 80%.
Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9.
So, if we are dealing with 965000000000000, then the answer would be:
