Based on the simulated results, what is the probability that a randomly selected customer will purchase a shoe size less than a size 7.5?

8.5 9.5 5.0 10.0 5.5 9.0 6.0 6.5 9.5 10.5 8.5 7.0 11.0 6.5 8.5

gradpoint

Answer 2

p = Probability of picking a shoe of size less than 7.5

x = number of shoes that are less than size 7.5

n = number of shoes total

In this case, x = 6 and n = 15, so

p = x/n = 6/15 = 2/5 = 0.400

Answer: Choice D) 0.400
