Question

In a random sample of 200 customers at a restaurant, 140 customers ordered french fries. If the restaurant typically has 1,000 customers in a day, about how many will probably order french fries?

Answer 1

Answer: 700 customers

Explanation:

In a random sample of 200, 140 people ordered French fries.

Find out the percentage of people who ordered French fries:

= 140 / 200

= 70%

If the restaurant usually has 1,000 customers a day, based on the rate of people who ordered French fries out of 200 people - 70% - the number of people who will probably order French fries are:

= 70% * 1,000

= 700 customers
