Answer: The required probability is $\dfrac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step 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

$\dfrac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{40}{48}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{6}$

Hence, the required probability is $\dfrac{5}{6}$
