Question

Berdine's Chicken Factory has several stores in the Hilton Head, South Carolina, area. When interviewing applicants for server positions, the owner would like to include information on the amount of tip a server can expect to earn per check (or bill). A study of 500 recent checks indicated the server earned the following amounts in tips per 8-hour shift.Amount of tip Number0-20 20020-50 10050-100 75100-200 75more than 200 50total 500what is the probability of a tim 200 or more?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of the tip to be more than 200 is 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data

Amount of tip            Number

     0-20                       200

   20-50                       100

   50-100                      75

 100-200                     75

    200+                        50

____________________

Total=                         500

So what is the probability of tip to be more than 200 is given as

$P(200+)=\frac{no. \, of\,occurrence}{Total\, Number}$

From the table the value is 50 for the tip to be more than 200 where as the total occurrences are 500 so substituting values:

$P(200+)=\frac{no. \, of\,occurrence}{Total\, Number}\\P(200+)=\frac{50}{500}\\P(200+)=0.1$

So the probability of the tip to be more than 200 is 0.1.
