Question

A supermarket has found that 60% of their customers spend more than $75 each visit. Whats the probability that the next 2 customers will each spend more than $75? ×

Answer 1

Answer: 0.36 or 36%
60%=60/100=0.6

60% is the same as saying 60/100 or 0.6

To solve for the probability of this problem, we have to, multiply the odds of the two separate events together

event1 is a customer that spends more than 75$. The odds of that happening are .6

event 2 is a customer that spends more than 75$. The odds of that happening are .6

probability=event1*event2
probability=.6*.6 
probability=.36 or 36%
