Question

A store owner decided to collect data on his customers. On one day he observed: 48 people bought 1 item 32 people bought 2 or more items 16 people did not buy anything items? Based on the data from that day, what is the probability that the next person to visit the store will buy 2 or more items?

Answer 1

The probability that the next person to visit the store will buy 2 or more items is;

`(1)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

48 people bought 1 item

32 people bought 2 or more items

16 people did not buy anything items

Total number of samples;

`N=48+32+16=96`

The probability that the next person to visit the store will buy 2 or more items is;

`\begin{gathered} P_2=(N_2)/(N)=(32)/(96) \\ P_2=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the probability that the next person to visit the store will buy 2 or more items is;

`(1)/(3)`
