Of the 30 people to order drinks in a restaurant, 7 of them ordered tea, 10 ordered coke, and 13 ordered water.
What is the empirical probability (the next order will be a coke) = 10/30=1/3
A. 1/3
B. 2/3
C. 1:3
D. 7/30
What are the odds that the next person will order water= 13:17
A. 13:30
B. 13:17
C. 17:13
D. 17:30
What is the empirical probability (the next order is NOT water) 17/30
A. 13/30
B. 7/30
C. 17/30
D. 10/30
What is the probability (the next two orders are both tea)= (7/30)^2=49/900
A. 14/900
B. 371/900
