Question

Of the last 100 customers entering Best Buy, 25 buy a computer. If the classical probability assessment applies, the probability that the next customer will buy a computer is:

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

The classical probability assessment works based on the principle that the probability of an event occurring is equal to the number of times the event occurs divided by total number of outcomes.

That is:

P(A) = n(A) / N

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will buy a computer will be:

P(c) = 25 / 100 = 1/4
