Answer:

To find the probability of the next drink being an espresso, we need to know the total number of drinks sold.

In this case, the total number of drinks sold is:

3 cappuccinos + 7 espresso drinks = 10 drinks

The probability of the next drink being an espresso can be calculated by dividing the number of espresso drinks sold by the total number of drinks sold:

Probability of next drink being an espresso = Number of espresso drinks sold / Total number of drinks sold

Probability of next drink being an espresso = 7/10

Probability of next drink being an espresso = 0.7 or 70%

Therefore, the probability of the next drink being an espresso is 0.7 or 70%.
