To find out how many of the next 10 people Liz sees would be expected to be wearing sandals, we first need to determine the total number of people Liz has recorded so far.
Liz has recorded:
- Sandals: 2
- Sneakers: 12
- High Heels: 6
Total number of people = 2 (sandals) + 12 (sneakers) + 6 (high heels) = 20 people.
Next, we calculate the proportion of people wearing sandals:
Proportion of sandals wearers = Number of sandals wearers / Total number of people
= 2 / 20
= 0.1
Now, we use this proportion to find the expected number of sandals wearers among the next 10 people:
Expected number of sandals wearers = Proportion of sandals wearers × Number of next people
= 0.1 × 10
= 1
Thus, we would expect 1 of the next 10 people Liz sees to be wearing sandals.
