Step 1 ：Let's denote the number of customers who wanted mustard as \(m\) and the number of customers who did not want mustard as \(n\).

Step 2 ：Given, \(m = 36\) and \(n = 78\).

Step 3 ：Total number of customers is the sum of mustard and non-mustard customers: \(t = m + n\).

Step 4 ：Calculate the total number of customers: \(t = 36 + 78 = 114\).

Step 5 ：The experimental probability of the next customer wanting mustard is the ratio of mustard customers to the total customers: \(P(\text{mustard}) = \frac{m}{t}\).

Step 6 ：Calculate the probability: \(P(\text{mustard}) = \frac{36}{114} = \frac{18}{57}\).

Step 7 ：\(\boxed{P(\text{mustard}) = \frac{18}{57}}\)
