A survey of 100 concession stand customers' orders is shown below.

| | Hot Dog | Hamburger | Sandwich |
|----------|---------|-----------|----------|
| Standard | 9 | 45 | 19 |
| Large | 3 | 18 | 6 |

If we choose a customer at random, what is the probability that their order will be Large?

[tex]\[ P(\text{Large}) = \frac{\text{Total Large orders}}{\text{Total orders}} = \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \square \][/tex]

To solve the problem of finding the probability that a randomly chosen customer's order will be Large, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the number of each type of order:
- Standard Hot Dog = 9
- Standard Hamburger = 45
- Standard Sandwich = 19
- Large Hot Dog = 3
- Large Hamburger = 18
- Large Sandwich = 6

2. Calculate the total number of Large orders:
- Large orders are given by:
[tex]\[ \text{Large Hot Dog} + \text{Large Hamburger} + \text{Large Sandwich} = 3 + 18 + 6 = 27 \][/tex]
Thus, the total number of Large orders is 27.

3. Calculate the total number of all orders:
- The total number of orders is the sum of all Standard and Large orders:
[tex]\[ \text{Standard Hot Dog} + \text{Standard Hamburger} + \text{Standard Sandwich} + \text{Large Hot Dog} + \text{Large Hamburger} + \text{Large Sandwich} \][/tex]
- Plugging in the numbers:
[tex]\[ 9 + 45 + 19 + 3 + 18 + 6 = 100 \][/tex]
Thus, the total number of orders is 100.

4. Calculate the probability of a Large order:
- The probability that a randomly chosen order is Large is given by the ratio of the total number of Large orders to the total number of orders:
[tex]\[ P(\text{Large}) = \frac{\text{Total Large orders}}{\text{Total orders}} = \frac{27}{100} \][/tex]

Therefore, the probability [tex]\( P(\text{Large}) \)[/tex] that a randomly chosen customer's order will be Large is:
[tex]\[ P(\text{Large}) = 0.27 \][/tex]

So, the probability is [tex]\(\boxed{0.27}\)[/tex].
