Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

There are 200 customers and 40 chose grapefruit juice, in percentage this is

`(40)/(200)*100\text{ = 20\%}`

If there are 500 customers, we would expect 20% of them to prefer grapefruit juice also, they are

`(20)/(100)*500=\text{ 100 in number}`

Thus, we would expect 100 samples of grapefruit to be chosen by the customers.
