Question

In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Isabella 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.

105 visitors purchased no costume.
41 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
8 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes can be found by dividing the number of visitors who purchased one or more costumes by the total number of visitors.

The total number of visitors is 105 + 41 + 8 = 154.

The number of visitors who purchased one or more costumes is 41 + 8 = 49.

So the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes is 49/154, which is approximately 0.32 to the nearest hundredth.
