Question

True or False:

Based on the table above, it is reasonable to estimate that
10 of the next 100 customers will order the roast turkey.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Since there were 50 people in the sample total, and 5 people ordered a Roasted Turkey, that equates to 10% of the total.

--> 50 / 5 = 0.1 or 10%

Additionally, if you were to apply this same thing to 10 of the next 100 customers you would see the exact same result:

--> 100 / 10 = 0.1 or 10%

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that 10 of the next 100 customers will order a roasted turkey since it matches the table above.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

True, It's a reasonable estimate that 10 of the next 100 will order turkey.

Explanation:

The problem tells us that there were 50 customers sampled. 5/50 chose turkey, which can also be written as 1/10.

So if you had 100 customers, the estimated number (based on this sample results) of turkeys ordered would be (1/10) x 100 = 10.

So yes, it's a reasonable estimate that 10 of the next 100 will order turkey.
