Question

Restaurants often slip takeout menus under Rosa's apartment

door. So far, Rosa has collected 15 menus, including 5 for
Indian food. Considering this data, how many of the next 18
menus slipped under Rosa's door should you expect to be
from Indian restaurants?

Answer 1

6.

Explanation:

Since restaurants often slip takeout menus under Rosa's apartment door, and so far, Rosa has collected 15 menus, including 5 for Indian food, to determine, considering this data, how many of the next 18 menus slipped under Rosa's door should be expected to be from Indian restaurants the following calculation and logical reasoning must be performed:

5/15 = 0.333333

Thus, 1/3 of the restaurant ads correspond to Indian restaurants. Therefore, since 18 x 1/3 equals 6, the number of Indian restaurant menus that could be expected to be slid under Rosa's door is 6.
