following: “What percent of customers wear rain jackets at Seattle Food Store each day?” In an
attempt to answer that question, Dominique and Huong designed a study. They called the store
manager and arranged to collect data for 20 days. The researchers collected data for 4 hours each
day for 20 days and counted the total number of shoppers who did and did not wear a rain
jacket.  The average number of customers per day who wore a rain jacket during the sample
period was 32.
