The probability that a randomly selected customer orders a large smoothie is approximately
\(0.55\), rounded to two decimal places.

To find the probability that a randomly selected customer orders a large smoothie, you need to determine the total number of customers who ordered a large smoothie and the total number of customers overall.

Given the data:

Get Fit Blend Energized Blend

Small 17 27

Medium 27 30

Large 59 66

Now, let's calculate the total number of customers for each blend and the overall total:

- Total for Get Fit Blend: 17 + 27 + 59 = 103

- Total for Energized Blend: 27 + 30 + 66 = 123

Now, calculate the overall total:

- Overall Total: 103 + 123 = 226

Now, the probability of selecting a large smoothie is given by:


\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Larges}}{\text{Overall Total}} \]


\[ \text{Probability} = (59 + 66)/(226) \]


\[ \text{Probability} = (125)/(226) \]

Now, round the probability to two decimal places:


\[ \text{Probability} \approx 0.55 \]

So, the probability that a randomly selected customer orders a large smoothie is approximately
\(0.55\), rounded to two decimal places.
