Jared check the school soda vending machine sells each hour between 8 AM and 3 PM. The 11 AM account each day averaged about 20 sodas. Jared then predicted about 20 sodas will be sold each hour of the day. What is wrong with this prediction?

People won’t want to buy sodas in the morning. You can’t predict human behavior, which means basing the average sales on just one hour is wrong.
