Of the recent customers at Burger Haven, 12 wanted cheese on their burgers and 2 did not. Considering this data, how many of the next 7 customers would you expect to want cheese?

12/14 = x/7

Solve for x.

To find out how many of the next 7 customers would be expected to want cheese, we can use the concept of probability.

Probability is calculated by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the desired outcome is customers who want cheese, and the possible outcomes are all the customers.

From the given data, we know that out of the recent customers at Burger Haven, 12 wanted cheese and 2 did not. This means that out of the total number of recent customers, 12 + 2 = 14, some wanted cheese and some did not.

To calculate the probability of a customer wanting cheese, we divide the number of customers who wanted cheese (12) by the total number of recent customers (14). This gives us a probability of 12/14.

To find out how many of the next 7 customers would be expected to want cheese, we multiply the probability by the number of next customers. Therefore, the expected number of customers who would want cheese out of the next 7 customers is (12/14) * 7.

Calculating this, we get (12/14) * 7 = 6.

So, based on the given data, we would expect approximately 6 out of the next 7 customers to want cheese on their burgers.
