Question

In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Olivia 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. 144 visitors purchased no costume. 182 visitors purchased exactly one costume. 9 visitors purchased more than one costume. Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume is approximately 0.97.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of visitors who purchased either zero or one costume to the total number of visitors. First, we sum up the number of visitors who purchased zero or one costume: 144 + 182 = 326.

Next, we calculate the total number of visitors: 144 + 182 + 9 = 335. Finally, we divide the number of visitors who purchased zero or one costume (326) by the total number of visitors (335) and express it as a decimal to the nearest hundredth:

326 / 335 ≈ 0.97
