PLEASE HELP!! The manager of a restaurant chain wants to know how many times per month diners come to his restaurant. The table shows the number of visits in one month for three samples of 10 randomly chosen diners.

Answer the questions to find the means, compare the samples, and make a prediction.

1. What are the means of Samples 1 and 2? Show your work.

Write your answer in the space below.

2. What is the mean of Sample 3? Show your work.

Write your answer in the space below.

3. Based on the data, would you predict that, in one month, the average diner would visit the restaurant fewer than 3 times, 3 or 4 times, or, about 4 times? Explain your reasoning.

Without the table of data, I am unable to provide you with exact answers to the first two questions. However, to find the mean of a sample, you would add up all the values in the sample and then divide by the number of values. For example, to find the mean of Sample 1, you would add up the number of visits for all 10 diners in the sample and then divide by 10.

For the third question, we can estimate that the average diner would visit the restaurant about 3 or 4 times in one month. This is because the means of Samples 1 and 2 are likely to be somewhat similar, indicating consistency in diner behavior across different samples. Additionally, the mean of Sample 3 can give us a general idea of the overall average. However, without more information or a larger sample size, it is difficult to make a precise prediction.
