The retail and service industries are another aspect of modern society where probability’s relevance can be seen. By studying data on their own service and their clientele, businesses can make informed decisions about how best to move forward in changing economies. Below is a table of data collected over a weekend at a local ice cream shop, Frankie’s Frozen Favorites. The table compares a customer’s flavor choice to their cone choice.
C = Chocolate
B = Butter Pecan
F = Fudge Ripple
CC = Cotton Candy
S = Sugar Cone
W = Waffle Cone
