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

31 visitors purchased no costume.
371 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
21 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no costume as a percent to the nearest whole number.

1 answer

To find the probability that the next person will purchase no costume, we need to consider the total number of visitors and the number of visitors who purchased no costume.

Total number of visitors = 31 (purchased no costume) + 371 (purchased exactly one costume) + 21 (purchased more than one costume) = 423

Number of visitors who purchased no costume = 31

Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase no costume is:
P(purchasing no costume) = 31/423 = 0.073 = 7.3%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the probability is 7%.
