The experimental probability that at least one of the first three customers will make a purchase is found by examining the first three numbers of each trial set. There are 2 out of 5 sets where a purchase (represented by 0 or 1) is made, resulting in a probability of 40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the experimental probability that at least one of the first three customers will make a purchase, we need to analyze the generated numbers for each trial and identify the cases where 0 or 1 appears within the first three numbers of each set.
Trial 1: The first three numbers are 2, 8, 7 - no purchases.
Trial 2: The first three numbers are 7, 0, 3 - one purchase.
Trial 3: The first three numbers are 9, 7, 2 - no purchases.
Trial 4: The first three numbers are 0, 0, 9 - two purchases.
Trial 5: The first three numbers are 6, 7, 9 - no purchases.
There are 2 out of 5 trials where at least one customer in the first three makes a purchase. Therefore, the experimental probability is 2 out of 5, which is 40%. The correct answer is C) 40%.
