What Are the Chances of Getting Specific Meat Servings in a Dining Scenario?
Calculating Probabilities of Meat Servings
Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood of different events occurring. In this case, we are looking at the chances of receiving specific meat servings in a dining scenario.
Scenarios
There are two scenarios we will consider:
- Scenario 1: Probability of not getting a chicken breast and receiving an 18-oz. pork chop
- Scenario 2: Probability of receiving a piece of meat that is not 21 oz.
Calculations
For Scenario 1, we need to calculate the chance of not receiving chicken breast and getting an 18-oz. pork chop simultaneously.
For Scenario 2, we need to determine the probability of receiving any meat serving that is not 21 ounces.
