Question

Izzo's Pizza sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what she found.

Type of Crust Number Sold
Thin crust
344
Thick crust
391
Stuffed crust 155
Pan style
185
Based on this information, or the next 3500 pizzas she sells, how many should she expect to be thin crust? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do
not round any intermediate calculations.

Answer 1

Total number of Pizzas sampled = 344+391+155+185 = 1075

No. of Thick crust Pizzas in sample = 391

Proportion of Thick crust Pizzas in sample = 391/1075

Expected number of Thick crust in next 3500 pizzas = 3500*(391/1075)

Expected number of Thick crust in next 3500 pizzas = 1273

Out of 3500, he may expect 1273 pizzas to be thick crust
