Martin finds that when he does hair cuts, 6% of the customers are not satisfied. Jennifer finds that when she does hair cuts, 7% of the customers are not satisfied. Dorcas finds that when she does hair cuts, 3% of the customers are not satisfied. Suppose that a customer leaving the salon is selected at random. If the customer is not satisfied, what is the probability that their hair was done by Dorcas

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hair stylists = 3

                                        Martin        Jennifer       Dorcas     Total

Percentage of haircuts

 done                               27%               30%            43%     100%

Percentage of dissatisfied

 customers                      6%                   7%               3%

Proportion of dissatisfied

 customers                    37.5% (6/16)    43.75% (7/16)   18.75% (3/16)

If the customer is not satisfied, the probability that their hair was done by Dorcas
