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

44 visitors purchased no costume.
14 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
2 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.

1 answer

First, let's calculate the total number of visitors who purchased costumes:

14 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
2 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Therefore, the total number of visitors who purchased costumes is 14 + 2 = 16.

The total number of visitors who visited the website is 44 + 16 = 60.

To calculate the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes, we divide the number of visitors who purchased costumes by the total number of visitors:

16/60 = 4/15

As a decimal, 4/15 is approximately 0.27 to the nearest hundredth.

Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes is 0.27.
