In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Alonso 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.
349 visitors purchased no costume.
71 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
12 visitors purchased more than one costume.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no costume as a percent to the nearest whole number.
To calculate the probability that the next person will purchase no costume, we need to find the total number of visitors who made a purchase.
Total number of visitors who made a purchase = 71 (one costume) + 12 (more than one costume) = 83
Total number of visitors = 349 + 83 = 432
Probability of the next person purchasing no costume = number of visitors who purchased no costume / total number of visitors
= 349 / 432
= 0.808 (rounded to three decimal places)
Converting this to a percentage gives:
0.808 * 100 = 80.8%
Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase no costume is 81% to the nearest whole number.
