To answer this question, we first need to determine the proportions of each item combination based on the total number of orders.
The total number of orders in the table is 13 + 27 + 23 + 16 = 79.
The proportion of orders with a breakfast sandwich and orange juice is 13/79, which equals about 0.1646.
To predict how many orders of a breakfast sandwich and orange juice Mitch would sell out of 1,765 customers, we multiply the total number of customers by the proportion: 1,765 * 0.1646 ≈ 291 orders.
Therefore, Mitch would expect to sell approximately 291 orders of a breakfast sandwich and orange juice.
