• A. Average rating of new recipe is better than old recipe.
• B. Average rating of old recipe is better than new recipe.
• C. Average rating of both the recipes are equal.
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Average rating of old recipe is better than new recipe.

Given:

Average rating for the new recipe
= (3/5 + 5/5 + 4/5 + 2/5 + 4/5) ÷ 5
= 18/25
= 0.72

Similarly,
Average rating for the old recipe
= (0.7 + 0.65 + 0.88 + 0.75 + 0.8) ÷ 5
= 3.78 /5
= 0.756

Since 0.756 > 0.72, the average rating of old recipe is better than the new recipe.
