To make this prediction, we need to look at the proportion of boxes of roses with red bows in the results of Adam's survey. Let's assume that the proportion remains the same when selling 1567 total boxes of flowers.
From the table provided by Adam, let's calculate the proportion of boxes of roses with red bows:
Total boxes of roses with red bows: 112+78+44+25 = 259
Total boxes of flowers: 259+125+78+56+24+113 = 655
Proportion of boxes of roses with red bows: 259/655 = 0.395420
Now, let's use this proportion to predict the number of boxes of roses with red bows if Adam were to sell 1567 total boxes of flowers:
Predicted number of boxes of roses with red bows = 1567 * 0.395420 = 619
Therefore, Adam would need to order approximately 619 boxes of roses with red bows if he were to sell 1567 total boxes of flowers.
Adam conducted a survey of his fellow students to determine which flowers they would buy with which kind of bow. He created the table to show the results of the experiment. Predict how many boxes of roses with red bows Adam would have to order if he were to sell 1567 total boxes of flowers
