John runs a computer software store. yesterday he counted 123 people who walked by the store, 56 of whom came into the store. of the 56, only 23 bought something in the store. (round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) estimate the 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. (c) estimate the 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.

a) There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

123 people walked by the store.

56 people came into the store.

23 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

123 people walked by the store and 56 entered the store, so .

So

There is a 45.53% 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.

56 people came into the store and 23 bought something, so .

So

There is a 41.07% 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.

123 people walked by the store and 23 came in and bought something, so .

So

There is a 18.70% 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.

Of the 56 people whom came into the store, 23 bought something. This means that 56-23 = 33 of them did not buy anything. So:

There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

add the numbers under frequency to find the total number:

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25

the answer is 25.
