Jane Browning · Answer 1

1/20 of the patrons at Joe's restaurant are expected to be male and out of town.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:

Proportion of patrons that are male at Joe's restaurant = 1/4

Proportion of patrons that are from out of town at Joe's restaurant = 1/5

2. What proportion would you expect to be male and out of town?

For finding the proportion of the patrons, that would be male and that would be from out of town, we do this calculation:

Proportion of patrons that are male at Joe's restaurant * Proportion of patrons that are from out of town at Joe's restaurant

1/4 * 1/5 = 1/20

It means that 1/20 of the patrons at Joe's restaurant are expected to be male and out of town.
