Question

Cory has an online store, and last year, he sold 85% of his inventory. If you simulate the probability of selling an item, what is the probability (rounded to the nearest percentage) that a randomly selected item from his inventory will be sold?

A) 15%

B) 50%

C) 75%

D) 85%

Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected item from Cory's inventory will be sold is 85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of selling an item from Cory's inventory, we need to use the given information that he sold 85% of his inventory last year. Since each item has an independent probability of being sold, we can say that the probability of selling a randomly selected item is also 85%.

Therefore, the answer is 85% (option D).
