 19. A restaurant manager conducts a survey to measure the extent of customers’ satisfaction on
overall performance of the restaurant. A score from 1 to 10 is used to measure the extent of
customers’ satisfaction on the overall performance, with 1 indicating strong dissatisfaction and
10 indicating strong satisfaction. The scores rated by 15 customers are recorded as follows:
4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10
It is found that if the score given by a customer of the restaurant is greater than 6, then the
5
probability that the customer will go to the restaurant again is 6 . Otherwise, the probability
1
that the customer will go to the restaurant again is 3 .
(a) If a customer is randomly selected from the 15 customers, find the probability that the
selected customer will not go to the restaurant again.
