Josue owns a small business selling bagels. He knows that in the last week 80
customers paid cash, 45 customers used a debit card, and 4 customers used a credit
card.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with
cash as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer :

Answer: 0.62

Step-by-step explanation: I got the answer

The probability that the next customer will pay with cash is 0.62

What is probability?

"It is finding out the possibilities of the occurrence of an event."

Formula to find the probability of an event:

"P(A) = n(A) / n(S)

where, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes of an event A

n(S) is the total number of outcomes for an experiment"

For given example,

in the last week 80 customers paid cash, 45 customers used a debit card, and 4 customers used a credit card.

So, the total number of customers:

⇒ n(S) = 80 + 45 + 4

⇒ n(S) = 129

Let event A: the next customer will pay with cash

n(A) = 80

So, the probability that the next customer will pay with cash would be,

⇒ P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

⇒ P(A) = 80/129

⇒ P(A) = 0.62

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will pay with cash is 0.62
