Q. Pat's Pizza made 2121 cheese pizzas, 1414 veggie pizzas, 2323 pepperoni pizzas, and 1414 sausage pizzas yesterday.\newlineBased on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next pizza made is not a cheese pizza? Choose the best answer. Choose 11 answer:\newline(A) 51%51\%\newline(B) 66%66\%\newline(C) 71%71\%\newline(D) 81%81\%
  1. Calculate total number of pizzas: Calculate the total number of pizzas made.\newlineTotal number of pizzas == Number of cheese pizzas ++ Number of veggie pizzas ++ Number of pepperoni pizzas ++ Number of sausage pizzas\newline=21= 21 cheese pizzas +14+ 14 veggie pizzas +23+ 23 pepperoni pizzas +14+ 14 sausage pizzas\newline=21+14+23+14= 21 + 14 + 23 + 14\newline=72= 72 pizzas
  2. Calculate non-cheese pizzas: Calculate the number of pizzas that are not cheese pizzas.\newlineNumber of non-cheese pizzas == Total number of pizzas - Number of cheese pizzas\newline=7221= 72 - 21\newline=51= 51 non-cheese pizzas
  3. Calculate probability: Calculate the probability that the next pizza made is not a cheese pizza.\newlineProbability (not cheese pizza) = Number of non-cheese pizzasTotal number of pizzas\frac{\text{Number of non-cheese pizzas}}{\text{Total number of pizzas}}\newline= 5172\frac{51}{72}
  4. Convert to percentage: Convert the probability to a percentage.\newlineProbability (not cheese pizza) as a percentage = (5172)×100%(\frac{51}{72}) \times 100\%\newline70.83%\approx 70.83\%
  5. Choose best estimate: Choose the best answer that is a reasonable estimate of the probability. Looking at the options, the closest estimate to 70.83%70.83\% is: (C) 71%71\%
