Answer:
a) 0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
b) 0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
c) 0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
d) 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
58 out of 125. So
[tex]p = \frac{58}{125} = 0.46[/tex]
0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
58 walked, 21 bought. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{58} = 0.36[/tex]
0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
21 came in and bought out of 125 that walked by. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{125} = 0.17[/tex]
0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
0.36 probability that a person buys something, so 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
