a t - shirt vendor is thinking about changing the number of t - shirts he brings to an event. to make sure he doesnt run out, he plans to bring more of the size most likely to be sold.
the table shows the number of t - shirts of each size sold at his last event and the number he had for sale.

	sold	number for sale
medium	220	270
large	284	315
x - large	95	135

which size should he bring more of?
a. small
b. medium
c. large
d. x - large

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the proportion of sold T - shirts for each size.

For Small: The proportion is $\frac{126}{180}=0.7$.
For Medium: The proportion is $\frac{220}{270}\approx0.815$.
For Large: The proportion is $\frac{284}{315}\approx0.902$.
For X - Large: The proportion is $\frac{95}{135}\approx0.704$.

Step2: Compare the proportions.

We compare the proportions: $0.7<0.704<0.815<0.902$. The largest proportion is for the Large size, which means the Large size T - shirts are most likely to be sold as a proportion of the number available for sale.

Answer:

C. Large
