In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Moussa sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. Information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below.
27 visitors purchased no costume.
112 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
3 visitors purchased more than one costume.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes as a percent to the nearest whole number.
To find the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes, we need to calculate the total number of visitors who purchased at least one costume.
Total visitors who purchased at least one costume = 112 (visitors who purchased exactly one costume) + 3 (visitors who purchased more than one costume) = 112 + 3 = 115
Total visitors = 27 (visitors who purchased no costume) + 112 (visitors who purchased exactly one costume) + 3 (visitors who purchased more than one costume) = 27 + 112 + 3 = 142
Probability of purchasing one or more costume = Total visitors who purchased at least one costume / Total visitors = 115 / 142 ≈ 0.81
Converting this probability to a percentage to the nearest whole number, we get 81%.
Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes is 81%.
