Question

Of the 10 clients who had their hair cut at Sue's salon last month, 5 had blond hair. Considering this data, how many of the next 14 clients to get haircuts should you expect to have blond hair?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 clients

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the last 10 clients that cut their hair at the salon, 5 had blond hair.

That is a proportion of:

= 5 / 10

= 1/2

Assuming this same proportion applies to the next clients Sue gets, the expected number of blonde people will be:

= Number of clients * 1/2

= 14 * 1/2

= 7 clients
