Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, tracks the proportion of its customers who eat in the restaurant rather than ordering food "to go" so that it can make decisions about the potential construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at franchise locations, and so on. According to Anita's, 52% of their customers purchase food to go. Assume that this proportion is true and a random sample of 40 consumers is collected.
