Choices at a restaurant 2009-04-13
From Rob:
There is a restaurant you get:

Rice/Noodles (1) Main Ingredient (any) Sauce (1)
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4
5 5 5
6 6 6
7 7  
  8  
  9  
  10  
  11  
  12  

So the question is how many different combinations are there. You can only have 1 rice/noodles in a selection and only 1 sauce in a selection but you can have between 1 and all twelve mains in a selection. there are 7 rice/noodles , 12 mains and 6 sauces. How many possibilies. I did it mentally in the restuarant, no pen, paper or calculater and i got 3276..i think thats wrong. please help

Probability that a restaurant will succeed 2007-05-23
From Cookie:
You wish to open a new restaurant and are considering locations in Toronto and Hamilton, but only one location will actually become available. If it is built in Toronto, the restaurant stands an 80% chance of successfully surviving its first year. However, if it is built in Hamilton, its chance of survival falls to 65%. It is estimated that the chance of Hamilton being available is 60% and Toronto being available is 40%. Find the probability that the restaurant will :
a) survive its first year
b) be built in Toronto and survive its first year
c) be built in Hamilton, given that it survived its first year
d) not survive its first year, given that it is built in Toronto Thanks
