In 2017, a website reported that only 10% of surplus food is being recovered in the food-service and restaurant sector, leaving approximately 1.5 billion meals per year uneaten. Assume this is the true population proportion and that you plan to take a sample survey of 545 companies in the food service and restaurant sector to further investigate their behavior.
