Question

In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Hudson sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. Information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below.

224 visitors purchased no costume.
103 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
32 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no costume as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The probability that the next person will purchase no costume is 62%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the next person will purchase no costume can be found by dividing the number of visitors who purchased no costume by the total number of visitors.

In this case, there were 224 visitors who purchased no costume out of a total of (224+103+32) 359 visitors.

Therefore, the probability is 224/359, which simplifies to 0.624, or 62%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the probability is 62%.
