Q. Pat's Pizza made 21 cheese pizzas, 14 veggie pizzas, 23 pepperoni pizzas, and 14 sausage pizzas yesterday.Based 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 1 answer:(A) 51%(B) 66%(C) 71%(D) 81%
Calculate total number of pizzas: Calculate the total number of pizzas made.Total number of pizzas = Number of cheese pizzas + Number of veggie pizzas + Number of pepperoni pizzas + Number of sausage pizzas=21 cheese pizzas +14 veggie pizzas +23 pepperoni pizzas +14 sausage pizzas=21+14+23+14=72 pizzas
Calculate non-cheese pizzas: Calculate the number of pizzas that are not cheese pizzas.Number of non-cheese pizzas = Total number of pizzas − Number of cheese pizzas=72−21=51 non-cheese pizzas
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability that the next pizza made is not a cheese pizza.Probability (not cheese pizza) = Total number of pizzasNumber of non-cheese pizzas= 7251
Convert to percentage: Convert the probability to a percentage.Probability (not cheese pizza) as a percentage = (7251)×100%≈70.83%
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% is: (C) 71%
