1. It means Mr. Smith really likes the strawberry milkshake, as a rating of 9 is very close to the top score of 10 (“good, I love it!”).
2. Mr. Jones prefers strawberry milkshakes because he rated them 7 and chocolate milkshakes 4.
3. Mr. Davies prefers chocolate milkshakes because he rated them 7 and strawberry milkshakes only 1.
4. Report to Manager: Based on ratings from 10 regular customers, strawberry milkshakes received higher average ratings (7.6) than chocolate milkshakes (6.8). Seven out of ten customers rated strawberry higher than chocolate. We recommend stocking more strawberry milkshakes and possibly investigating why some customers (like Mr. Davies) strongly dislike strawberry to improve offerings.
5. The statement is mostly accurate but oversimplified. While the average rating for strawberry (7.6) is higher than chocolate (6.8), not all customers prefer strawberry — three customers rated chocolate higher. Also, two customers gave both flavors identical ratings. So while strawberry is generally preferred, it’s not universally liked more.
6. Yes, Mrs. Hughes likes chocolate milkshakes. She rated them 8 out of 10, which is high (“good, I love it!”), indicating she enjoys them.
7. Mr. Baker collected data in a reasonable way for a small sample, but it could be improved. Asking only 10 regular customers may not represent all customers. For future surveys, he should ask a larger, more diverse group including new customers, at different times of day or week, and possibly use anonymous ballots to reduce bias. He could also collect demographic info to see if preferences vary by age or other factors.
