Mitch owns a coffee shop and keeps track of how many orders he fills and in what combination of items they are during the first hour his shop is open. Combinations include either a breakfast sandwich or muffin and either orange juice or milk.
Mitch needs to predict how many orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice he would expect to sell if he had 1,765 customers.
(1 point)
To predict how many orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice Mitch would expect to sell, we need to calculate the proportion of customers who ordered the Breakfast Sandwich and Orange Juice combination.
Total orders = 13 (Breakfast Sandwich and Orange Juice) + 27 (Muffins and Orange Juice) + 23 (Breakfast Sandwich and Milk) + 16 (Muffins and Milk) = 79
Proportion of customers who ordered Breakfast Sandwich and Orange Juice = 13 / 79 = 0.1646
So, to predict how many orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice Mitch would expect to sell with 1,765 customers, we multiply the total number of customers by the proportion:
1,765 customers * 0.1646 = 290.69
Therefore, Mitch would expect to sell approximately 291 orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice with 1,765 customers.
