A local coffee store is curious about the size beverages their customers are ordering. The beverages come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. An employee runs a simulation of 15 random outcomes using the values 1, 2, and 3 to represent small, medium, and large, respectively. What is the simulated probability that a customer will order the small beverage? 2 2 3 1 1 2 2 3 1 1 3 2 1 1 3

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 out of 5 or 6 out of 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In this pattern, there is two people ordering it every five times. You can write it out as 6/15 or simplify it as 2/5 (six-fifteenths and two-fifths)

Answer:

The simulated probability that a customer will order the small beverage is:

                 [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The  1, 2, and 3 to represent small, medium, and large, respectively.

The simulation is as follows:

2   2   3   1   1   2   2   3   1   1    3    2   1    1    3

There are a total outcomes= 15

Also, the number of outcomes that the customer will order small beverage is: 6

( Since,  6 times such that 1 has occurred.

As 1 represent the simulation that the beverage comes in small size )

Hence, the simulated probability is:

       [tex]\dfrac{6}{15}=\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4[/tex]
