Zoe supplies costumes to a number of theater companies. She recently provided 20 different hats, including 4 fedoras. Considering this data, how many of the next 15 hats requested from Zoe's inventory should you expect to be fedoras?
fedoras

1 answer

Based on the data provided, we can calculate the proportion of fedoras in Zoe's inventory by dividing the number of fedoras by the total number of hats provided:

Proportion of fedoras = 4 fedoras / 20 total hats = 0.2

Therefore, we can expect approximately 20% of the next 15 hats requested from Zoe's inventory to be fedoras:

Number of fedoras expected = 0.2 x 15 = 3 fedoras

So, we should expect around 3 of the next 15 hats requested from Zoe's inventory to be fedoras.
