Answer 1

To find out how many customers requested carrots, you can use the relative frequency. The relative frequency of carrots is given as 0.30, which means that 30% of the customers requested carrots.

To calculate the number of customers who requested carrots:

Number of customers who requested carrots = Total number of customers × Relative frequency of carrots

Given:
- Total number of customers = 50
- Relative frequency of carrots = 0.30

Now, calculate:

Number of customers who requested carrots = 50 × 0.30 = 15

So, the correct answer is **15 customers requested carrots**.
