Q. At Tasty Dogs, 22 of the last 1212 customers wanted mustard on their hot dogs. Considering this data, how many of the next 66 customers would you expect to want mustard?\newline____ customers\newline
  1. Calculate Total Customers: Calculate the total number of customers and those who wanted mustard.\newlineCustomers who wanted mustard: 22\newlineTotal customers: 1212\newlineCalculate the probability of customers wanting mustard.\newlineP(mustard)=Number of mustard customersTotal customersP(\text{mustard}) = \frac{\text{Number of mustard customers}}{\text{Total customers}}\newlineP(mustard)=212P(\text{mustard}) = \frac{2}{12}\newlineP(mustard)=16P(\text{mustard}) = \frac{1}{6}
  2. Calculate Probability of Mustard: Use the probability to predict the number of customers who will want mustard in the next 66 customers.\newlineExpected number of mustard customers = P(mustard)×Number of new customersP(\text{mustard}) \times \text{Number of new customers}\newlineExpected number of mustard customers = 16×6\frac{1}{6} \times 6\newlineExpected number of mustard customers = 11
