Being the owner of an ice cream company Jane wants to know about the existence of any relation between customers’ ages and the amount of ice cream (gr.) bought by each customer. In this regard, she uses past one year’s data on age and daily sales and select randomly chosen 100 agents. Jane separates selected number of agents into two parts according to their ages i.e., those who are aged below 18 years and those above 18 years and wonders primarily whether the customers who are aged above 18 years purchase more amount of ice cream or not using simple probability theory. Please explain whether the classical approach to probability is appropriate to reach a correct probability value, if not, explain the alternative approach to achieve it.
