Question

of the first 12 people that entered the store they were shopping for a new iPad if 400 people entered the store today predict the number of customers that could be shopping for an iPad

Answer 1

To predict how many out of 400 people entering a store might be shopping for an iPad, we use the proportion of the first 12 out of 12 people who were shopping for iPads and apply it to the larger group. This suggests that all 400 people could potentially be shopping for an iPad.

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict the number of customers that could be shopping for an iPad based on the observation that of the first 12 people that entered the store, all were shopping for a new iPad, we can set up a proportion using the given information and extend this trend to the entire group of 400 people who entered the store. Assuming that the same proportion of shoppers interested in iPads remains consistent throughout the day, we calculate the prediction as follows:

First, we establish the proportion of customers looking for iPads based on the initial sample: 12 out of 12 customers or 100%. If we apply this proportion to the entire set of 400 people, we can predict that all 400 people, or 100% of the 400 people, would be shopping for an iPad:

Number of customers looking for iPads = (400 people) x (12/12)

Therefore, the prediction is that all 400 customers could potentially be shopping for an iPad.

Answer 2

Over 80% of the shoppers will be looking for a ipad.
