To predict the number of orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice, we look at the number of orders in the table for the combination of Breakfast Sandwich and Orange Juice, which is 13.
To calculate the proportion of customers that order a breakfast sandwich and orange juice:
13 orders / (13 orders + 27 orders + 23 orders + 16 orders) = 13 / 79 = 0.1646
Multiply this proportion by the total number of customers (1,765):
0.1646 * 1,765 = 290.719
Therefore, we would expect to sell approximately 291 orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice out of 1,765 customers.
