The makers of Compute-All know that in the past, 40% of their sales were from people under 30 years old, 45% of their sales were from people who are between 30 and 50 years old, and 15% of their sales were from people who are over 50 years old. A sample of 300 customers was taken to see if the market shares had changed. In the sample, 100 of the people were under 30 years old, 150 people were between 30 and 50 years old, and 50 people were over 50 years old.
