Accuracy in taking orders at a drive-through window is important for fast-food chains. Periodically, QSR Magazine publishes "The

Drive-Thru Performance Study: Order Accuracy" that measures the percentage of orders that are filled correctly. In a recent month, the percentage of orders filled correctly at Burger King was approximately 90.5%. Suppose that you and two friends go to the drive-through window at Burger King and place an order. Two friends of yours independently place orders at the window at the same store.
a. What is the probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly?
b. What is the probability that none of the three will be filled correctly?
c. What is the probability that one of the three will be filled correctly?
d. What is the probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly?
e. What is the probability that only your order will be filled correctly?

Answer:

a) 0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b) 0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly

c) 0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d) 0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly

e) 0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each order, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is filled correctly, or it is not. Orders are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The percentage of orders filled correctly at Burger King was approximately 90.5%.

This means that p = 0.905

You and 2 friends:

So 3 people in total, which means that n = 3

a. What is the probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.905)^{3}.(0.095)^{0} = 0.7412

0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b. What is the probability that none of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.905)^{0}.(0.095)^{3} = 0.0009

0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly.

c. What is the probability that one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.905)^{1}.(0.095)^{2} = 0.0245

0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d. What is the probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

With what we found in b:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0009 = 0.9991

0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

e. What is the probability that only your order will be filled correctly?

Yours correctly with 90.5% probability, the other 2 wrong, each with 9.5% probability. So

p = 0.905*0.095*0.095 = 0.0082

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

Mike is playing cards with his sister when he draws a card from a pack of 35 cards numbered from 1 to 35 what is the probability
Ganezh [65]
1/5 because there are 7 numbers divisible by 5 from 1 to 35. 5,10, 15, 20,25,30,35, and out of those there are 35 cards, 7 out of 35 or 7/5 can be simplified to 1/5.
