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

6 visitors purchased no costume.
51 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
6 visitors purchased more than one costume.

To find out how many visitors would be expected to buy exactly one costume, we need to calculate the percentage of visitors who bought exactly one costume out of the total number of visitors.

First, let's add up the total number of visitors who bought costumes:
51 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
6 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Total number of visitors who bought costumes = 51 + 6 = 57

Now, let's calculate the percentage of visitors who bought exactly one costume:
Percentage of visitors who bought exactly one costume = (51/57) x 100% ≈ 89.47%

Next, let's calculate the expected number of visitors who would buy exactly one costume out of 200 visitors:
Expected number of visitors who would buy exactly one costume = (89.47% of 200) = 0.8947 x 200 ≈ 179 visitors

Therefore, we would expect approximately 179 visitors to buy exactly one costume out of 200 visitors. Rounded to the nearest whole number, we would expect about 179 visitors to buy exactly one costume.
