Use the data in the following table, which lists drive-thru order accuracy at popular fast food chains. Assume that orders are randomly selected from those included in the table.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|}
\hline & A & B & C & D \\
\hline Order Accurate & 313 & 277 & 231 & 128 \\
\hline Order Not Accurate & 35 & 56 & 37 & 16 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

If one order is selected, find the probability of getting food that is not from Restaurant A.

The probability of getting food that is not from Restaurant [tex]$A$[/tex] is [tex]$\square$[/tex] (Round to three decimal places as needed.)


Sagot :

Let’s begin by calculating the total number of orders for each restaurant:

- Restaurant A:
- Accurate orders: 313
- Not accurate orders: 35
- Total orders for Restaurant A: [tex]\(313 + 35 = 348\)[/tex]

- Restaurant B:
- Accurate orders: 277
- Not accurate orders: 56
- Total orders for Restaurant B: [tex]\(277 + 56 = 333\)[/tex]

- Restaurant C:
- Accurate orders: 231
- Not accurate orders: 37
- Total orders for Restaurant C: [tex]\(231 + 37 = 268\)[/tex]

- Restaurant D:
- Accurate orders: 128
- Not accurate orders: 16
- Total orders for Restaurant D: [tex]\(128 + 16 = 144\)[/tex]

Next, we'll find the total number of orders from all restaurants combined:

- Total orders from all restaurants = Total orders from A + Total orders from B + Total orders from C + Total orders from D
- Total orders from all restaurants: [tex]\(348 + 333 + 268 + 144 = 1093\)[/tex]

Then, we'll calculate the total number of orders from restaurants B, C, and D (i.e., orders not from Restaurant A):

- Total orders not from Restaurant A = Total orders from B + Total orders from C + Total orders from D
- Total orders not from Restaurant A: [tex]\(333 + 268 + 144 = 745\)[/tex]

Now, to find the probability of getting food that is not from Restaurant A, we use the ratio of the total number of orders not from Restaurant A to the total number of orders from all restaurants:

[tex]\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Total orders not from Restaurant A}}{\text{Total orders from all restaurants}} = \frac{745}{1093} \][/tex]

This simplifies to approximately:

[tex]\[ \text{Probability} \approx 0.682 \][/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting food that is not from Restaurant A is:

[tex]\[ 0.682 \][/tex]

(Rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
