At Joe's Restaurant, 80 percent of the diners are new customers (N), while 20 percent are returning customers (R). Fifty percent of the new customers pay by credit card, compared with 70 percent of the regular customers. If a customer pays by credit card, what is the probability that the customer is a new customer?

0.7407 = 74.07% probability that the customer is a new customer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Pays by credit card

Event B: New customer.

Probability of a customer paying by credit card:

50% of 80%(new customers).

70% of 20%(regular customers). So

Probability of a customer paying by credit card and being a new customer:

50% of 80%, so:

What is the probability that the customer is a new customer?

0.7407 = 74.07% probability that the customer is a new customer.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
