Question

If you assume the samples are representative how many whole wheat bagels might you infer are sold at each store

Answer 1

Well, shop A would be 100 because 10÷5=25%, and shope b would be 115, and stop c would be abouthe 140

Answer 2

Maurine owns three bagel shops. Each shop sells 500 bagels per day. Maureen asks her store managers to use a random sample to see how many whole wheat bagels are sold at each store each day. Shop A has total of 50 bagels in sample and 10 are whole wheat bagels. Store B has a total of 100 bagels in sample and 23 are whole wheat bagels. Shop C has 25 total bagels in sample and 7 are whole wheat bagels.

We find fraction of whole wheat bagels to the sample for each shop using given information

Shop A =
`(10)/(50) = 0.20`

Shop B =
`(23)/(100) = 0.23`

Shop C =
`(7)/(25) = 0.28`

The number of whole wheat bagels for each shop that sells 500 bagels per day

Shop A =
`0.20 * 500= 100`

Shop B =
`0.23 * 500= 115`

Shop C =
`0.28 * 500= 140`
