John runs a computer software store. He counted 126 people who walked by his store in a day, 52 of whom came into the store. Of the 52, only 27 bought something in the store. Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.52 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of people who walked by the store = 126

Number of people who walked into store = 52

Number of people who walked something = 27

We have to find the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

[tex]\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]  

Putting values, we get,

[tex]P = \dfrac{\text{Number of people who bought something}}{\text{Number of people who walked into store}} = \dfrac{27}{52} = 0.52[/tex]

0.52 is the required probability.
