Question

Between 10 a.M. And 11 a.M., 48 people came into Brad's store. 40 of them made a purchase. What is the experimental probability that the next person to come into the store will make a purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: The required probability is
`(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people came into Brad's store = 48

Number of them made a purchase = 40

So, the experimental probability that the next person to come into the store will make a purchase would be

`\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\\\\=(40)/(48)\\\\=(5)/(6)`

Hence, the required probability is
`(5)/(6)`
