Step-by-step explanation:

a) The number of people rated for restaurants that seat fewer than 100 people is 550. The total number of people rated is 1200. Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected restaurant seats fewer than 100 people is

550/1200

b) The number of poor ratings for both restaurants is 324. Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected restaurant received a poor rating is

324/1200

c) This is a conditional probability. If A represents the event that a randomly selected restaurant received an excellent rating and B represents the event that the restaurant seats fewer than 100 people,

P (A) = 362/1200

P (B) = 550/1200

P (A and B) = 362/1200 * 550/1200 =

199100/1440000

The conditional probability required is

P (A|B) = P (A and B) / P (B)

P (A|B) = (199100/1440000) / 550/1200

P (A|B) = 362/1200

d) If A represents the event that a randomly selected restaurant seats fewer than 100 people and B represents the event that the restaurant received an excellent rating,

P (A) = 550/1200

P (B) = 362/1200

P (A and B) = 362/1200 * 550/1200 =

199100/1440000
