The owner of a restaurant serving Continental-style entrees was interested in studying ordering patterns of patrons for the Friday-to-Sunday weekend time period. Records were maintained that indicated the demand for dessert during the same time period. The owner decided to study two other variables, along with whether a dessert was ordered: the gender of the individual and whether a beef entrée was ordered. The results are as follows: GENDER
DESSERT ORDERED Male Female Total
Yes 96 40 136
No 224 240 464
Total 320 280 600

BEEF ENTRÉE

DESSERT ORDERED Yes No Total
Yes 71 65 136
No 116 348 464
Total 187 413 600

A waiter approaches a table to take an order. What is the probability that the first customer to order at the table
a. orders a dessert?
b. orders a dessert or a beef entrée?
c. is a female and does not order a dessert

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5

when the daily mileage is greater than 40 miles, unlimited mileage plan will save you money. 40 miles is the break-even point.

step-by-step explanation:

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.
