Probability and Appetizer Orders Analysis

Jada owns a restaurant where customers can order via an app. To attract more customers, she offers a discount on appetizers and analyzes the probability of customers ordering a large number of appetizers. By examining 500 past orders, she constructs an approximate probability distribution for the number of appetizers ordered. The video explains how to calculate probabilities for different outcomes using empirical data.

What strategy did Jada implement to attract more customers to her restaurant?

• Introducing a loyalty program

• Offering discounts on appetizers

• Providing free drinks

• Offering discounts on main courses

How many past orders did Jada analyze to track appetizer orders?

• 250

• 1000

• 100

• 500

What does the variable 'x' represent in Jada's analysis?

• The total number of customers

• The number of appetizers in a random order

• The number of main courses ordered

• The total revenue from appetizers

Why is the probability distribution described as 'approximate'?

• Because it uses empirical data from past orders

• Because it is based on assumptions

• Because it is calculated using complex algorithms

• Because it predicts future trends

What is the approximate probability of a customer ordering zero appetizers?

• 2/25

• 4/50

• 1/10

• 3/50

How is the probability of ordering one appetizer expressed in simplest terms?

• 8/25

• 6/25

• 9/50

• 1/10

What fraction represents the probability of ordering three appetizers?

• 1/50

• 12/50

• 6/25

• 3/50

What is the probability of ordering five appetizers?

• 2/25

• 1/50

• 3/50

• 1/10

What is the probability of ordering six appetizers?

• 1/10

• 1/50

• 3/50

• 2/25

What is the final step in constructing the probability distribution?

• Calculating the mean

• Summing up all probabilities

• Verifying the data

• Concluding the exercise
