Answer 1

To find the number of customers who requested carrots based on the relative frequency, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Number of requests for carrots} = \text{Total customers} \times \text{Relative frequency of carrots} \]

In this case:

• Total customers = 50
• Relative frequency of carrots = 0.30

Now, calculate:

\[ \text{Number of requests for carrots} = 50 \times 0.30 = 15 \]

So, the correct answer is 15.
