She wanted to estimate the percentage of her customers that order form the menu with specials. She selected a random sample of 50 customers who had lunch at her diner during a three-month period. She determined that 28% of these people ordered for the menu with specials.
Which statement about Josephine's sample is true?
A The sample is the percentage of customers who order from the menu with specials.
B The sample might not be representative of the popultation because it only included lunch customers.
C The sample shows that exactly 28% of Josephine's customers order from the menu with specials.

Lindsey would like to know the number of people at a movie theater that will buy a movie ticket and popcorn. Based on past data, the probability that a person who is selected at random from those that buy movie tickets and also buy popcorn is 0.6. Lindsey designs a simulation to estimate the probability that exactly two in a group of three people selected randomly at a movie theater will buy both a movie ticket and popcorn. For the simulation Lindsey used a number generator that generates random numbers.
· Any number from 1 through 6 represents a person who buys a movie ticket and popcorn.
· Any number from 7 through 9 or 0 represents a person who buys only a movie ticket.

Probability of Compound Events
For the probability of compound events, first - decide if the two events are independent or dependent.
When the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event, the two events are independent.

Joey wanted to convince his mom to give him some money for a snack from the concession stand. Below are the prices of the different snacks.
$1.75, $0.75, $1.25, $0.75, $2.50, $2.00
Slide 119 / 188
What is the mean of this data set?$1.75, $0.75, $1.25, $0.75, $2.50, $2.00
Step 1: Add up all of the numbers.1.75 + 0.75 + 1.25 + 0.75 + 2.50 + 2.00 = 9.00
Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of items listed.9.00 / 6 = 1.50
The mean cost of concession stand snacks is $1.50.
