Question

The manager of a store counted 127 people walking by the store yesterday. 58 of those people came into the store; of that 58, only 25 bought something. Use this information to estimate the following probabilities, expressed as decimals rounded to four places. 7. What is the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store is 45.66%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people walking by the store=127

Number of people came into the store=58

Number of people came into the store and buy=25

P=# of possibilities that meet the condition / #of equally likely possibilities.

P=# people came into the store / #people walking by the store.

P=58/127=0.4566

Answer 2

Answer:

0.4567

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a person who walks by the store will enter is given by the number of people who came into the store (58 people), divided by number of people who walked by the store (127 people):

$P = \frac{58}{127}\\ P=0.4567$

The probability is 0.4567.
