Answer:

a) There is a 55% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 38% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 21% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 62% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

P = \frac{D}{T}

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

121 people walked by the store.

66 people came into the store.

25 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

121 people walked by the store, 66 of whom entered the store. So:

D = 66, T = 121

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{66}{121} = 0.55

There is a 55% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

66 people walked into the store, 25 of whom bought something. So:

D = 25, T = 66

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{25}{66} = 0.38

There is a 38% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

121 people walked by the store, 25 of whom entered the store. So:

D = 25, T = 121

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{25}{121} = 0.21

There is a 21% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 66 people whom came into the store, 25 bought something. This means that 66-25 = 41 of them did not buy anything. So:

D = 41, T = 66

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{41}{66} = 0.62

There is a 62% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Antonio orders an iPhone case off of Amazon for $27. He has to pay an additional 3% for shipping and handling. How much will his
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

We conclude that total cost/bill will be: $27.81  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The cost of an iPhone case = $27

Additional expense = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

To determine

Total bill = ?

The expense amount can be calculated by multiplying the cost of an iPhone case by the additional expense

i.e.

Expense Amount = cost of an iPhone case × additional expense

                             = 27 × 0.03

                             = $0.81

The total cost is calculated by adding the expense amount and the original cost of an iPhone case.

i.e.

Total cost/bill = Expense Amount + cost of an iPhone case

                  = $0.81 + $27

                  = $27.81

Therefore, we conclude that total cost/bill will be: $27.81
