In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Shaniece 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.
65 visitors purchased no costume.
241 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
23 visitors purchased more than one costume.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase more than one costume as a fraction in simplest form.
To find the probability that the next person will purchase more than one costume, we need to calculate the total number of visitors who purchased at least one costume.
Total number of visitors who purchased at least one costume = 241 (purchased exactly one costume) + 23 (purchased more than one costume) = 264
Total number of visitors = 65 (purchased no costume) + 241 (purchased exactly one costume) + 23 (purchased more than one costume) = 329
So, the probability that the next person will purchase more than one costume is:
P(purchasing more than one costume) = Number of visitors who purchased more than one costume / Total number of visitors who purchased at least one costume
P(purchasing more than one costume) = 23 / 264 = 23/264
Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase more than one costume as a fraction in simplest form is 23/264.
